Introduction:
Dreaming of dramatic landscapes that look like they’ve been lifted from a fantasy novel? A road trip through Hunza and Skardu in Northern Pakistan isn’t just a journey; it’s a pilgrimage for the soul. At TripOn, we believe this route is one of the world’s last great adventures, and we’re here to guide you through its wonders.
Why Hunza & Skardu Together?
While each destination is stunning on its own, combining them creates an unparalleled experience of Pakistan’s geographic and cultural diversity. You transition from the terraced orchards and warm hospitality of Hunza to the rugged, raw majesty of Skardu, the gateway to some of the world’s highest peaks.
Highlights of the Trip:
- Hunza Valley: Stand in awe before the majestic Rakaposhi, stroll through the serene Eagle’s Nest at Duiker for sunrise, explore the ancient Baltit and Altit Forts, and experience the legendary hospitality of the local people.
- The Journey (Karakoram Highway): The drive itself is the attraction. Traverse the iconic Karakoram Highway, witness the collision of tectonic plates at the Concordia viewpoint, and see the mesmerizing colors of the Attabad Lake.
- Skardu & Beyond: Arrive in Skardu, the land of giants. Visit the historic Kharpocho Fort, take a serene boat ride on the Shangrila Resort’s Lower Kachura Lake (Shangrila Lake), and embark on a day trip to the breathtaking Shangrila Resort and the surreal Upper Kachura Lake.
- Gateway to Adventure: Skardu serves as the launchpad for treks to the base camps of K2, Broad Peak, and the Great Trango Tower, and for expeditions to the magical Shigar Valley and Deosai Plains, the “Land of Giants.”
