The Magic of Skardu
Skardu is more than a destination — it’s a feeling. From the moment you arrive, the landscape wraps around you like a dream. Towering rock faces, crystalline lakes, and expansive plateaus stretch beyond the horizon. Places like Shangrila Resort, Sheosar Lake, and Manthoka Waterfall offer breathtaking views that feel almost unreal.
But beyond the postcard views, there’s a culture, a rhythm of life that is deeply connected to the land. Exploring this region isn’t about ticking places off a list; it’s about immersion, perspective, and connection — values that define the mission of Skardu Travel and Tour.
