The area guide gives May to September as the best months for Skardu, with April and October good and March and November possible. January, February and December are listed as off-season, and the guide summarises the best period as April to October. In Skardu, summer days are warm while nights stay cool, and the air is dry.
In Skardu, Deosai is a wide high plateau south of Skardu, open in summer and snowbound for much of the year, so visits there belong to the warmer months. Access is usually straightforward, but check local advice during winter snow or after heavy rain. The off-season months are best treated as a quiet period with uncertain road conditions rather than a time for high-valley excursions.
The place
