Starting Location
Fly into Skardu and step straight into the heart of the Karakoram. This five-day escape combines the best of two worlds — the turquoise lakes and ancient forts of Hunza, and the raw drama of Khunjerab Pass, Baskochi Meadows, Attabad Lake, Passu Glacier, and Shigar Fort. Fly both ways and spend every moment exploring, not driving.
Transfer to your departure airport for the early morning flight to Skardu. On arrival, drive straight to the serene Upper Kachura Lake for a short visit, then head to the famous Shangrila Resort for lunch before the drive north to Hunza. Arrive and check in to your hotel by evening.
