Starting Location
Chase the cherry blossoms to Skardu's most romantic corner. Fly from Lahore into a valley carpeted in pink and white, visit the fairy-tale Khaplu Fort, wander the centuries-old Chaqchan Mosque, and step into the living art gallery of Machlu Village's blossom gardens. Then wind down through Shigar Fort and the golden desert as the day fades behind the Karakoram.
An hour in the air and you're in the Karakoram. Land at Skardu and drive east, pausing at the blossom-draped Chunda Valley on the way. Lunch at the iconic Shangrila Resort on Lower Kachura Lake before continuing to Khaplu for check-in.
