Getting there

Hotel Dewanekhas is in central Skardu town, within a kilometre of the centre. The nearest airport is Skardu Airport, about 10 km away in a straight line.

In the mountains, travel time depends far more on the road than on the distance: landslides, snow and roadworks can close passes and slow the drive, so check road conditions before setting out. Flights to Gilgit and Skardu are short and scenic but weather-dependent and are often delayed or cancelled; keep a spare day in the plan.

Around Skardu

Skardu sits at an altitude of 2,228 metres in a mountain valley. Irrigated fields of wheat, apricot and apple lie between the built-up area and the bare mountains, and the air is dry, with warm summer days and cool nights.

With one day, start at the fort in the morning, then walk down through the bazaar; with two days, add a half-day trip to Shigar and a slower look at Skardu itself.
