Discover the Blossom Magic of Skardu & Hunza – 11-Day Adventure

The 11-Day Skardu–Hunza Adventure Tour offers a breathtaking journey through the stunning
landscapes and rich culture of Gilgit-Baltistan, beginning with a warm welcome in Islamabad before
flying to Skardu to witness its iconic lakes, waterfalls, deserts, forts, and ancient cultural landmarks. This
tour is especially enchanting during the blossom season, when apricot, cherry, and apple trees blanket
Skardu and Hunza in vibrant shades of pink and white, creating a magical atmosphere throughout the
valleys. From the serene Upper and Lower Kachura Lakes to the majestic Manthokha Waterfall,
Sarfaranga Cold Desert, Shigar Fort, Sadpara Lake, and the historic gems of Khaplu Valley, each moment
captures the region’s natural charm. Traveling onward to Hunza, you’ll enjoy panoramic views at
Rakaposhi Viewpoint before exploring Altit and Baltit Forts, the icy Hoper Glacier, and the dramatic
landscapes of Upper Hunza, including Attabad Lake, Passu Cones, and thrilling suspension bridges. A
colorful excursion to Naltar Valley adds to the adventure, before returning to Islamabad for a relaxing
final evening ahead of your onward journey.
