Best Time to Visit Skardu
Skardu is beautiful all year, but road access and Deosai change with the season. Here is what to expect on your tour from Lahore.
Spring
Blossoms in Skardu valley and pleasant days. Deosai may still be closed by snow early on.
Summer
Peak season. Deosai is open, the lakes are at their best and the weather is ideal.
Autumn
Golden colours, clear skies and calm lakes. One of the most scenic times to visit.
Winter
Very cold with snow. Skardu is reachable but Deosai and some high spots stay closed.
Shangrila & Lower Kachura Lake
Known as heaven on earth, Shangrila Resort sits beside the heart-shaped Lower Kachura Lake, one of the most photographed spots in all of Pakistan. Calm blue water, red-roofed cottages and green gardens make it the highlight of every Skardu tour.
On our tours you get time to walk around the lake, enjoy the gardens and take a short hike to the deep blue Upper Kachura Lake nearby, with the Karakoram peaks reflected in the water.
- Heart-shaped lake
- Shangrila Resort
- Upper Kachura nearby
