Overview

A full week in Baltistan.

Seven days in the land of giants — Skardu, gateway to the highest peaks on earth. We take in the Shangrila and Kachura lakes, the cold desert of Katpana, the old Kharpocho fort, and a full day out on the Deosai plains, the second-highest plateau in the world.

Our most complete northern journey — big landscapes, big drives and time to breathe them in. Flights to Skardu can be arranged to trade the long road for extra days.
