Starting Location
Six days, six distinct landscapes — all reached by a single return flight from Islamabad. Start with a Willy Jeep into the lush Basho Valley on arrival day, then spend two days in the Khaplu–Shigar corridor before tackling the secret Masrur Rock hike and the Shigar Desert. Day five is Deosai in full — Sadpara Lake, the plateau summit and glittering Sheosar Lake. A complete Skardu experience.
Fly in to Skardu and board a Willy Jeep straight to Basho Valley — a hidden green corridor of poplar groves and mountain streams that few visitors reach. Spend the afternoon exploring before returning via Shangrila at sunset. Check in to Himmel Resort.
