Skardu Valley | A Perfect Representation Of Nature

Skardu Valley, the core valley of Gilgit-Baltistan in Pakistan’s far north, is an epitome of beauty, solitude, and nature.

This valley connects the paths to several of the world’s highest mountains, including K2, K3, and Gasherbrum.

Thousands of climbers from all over the world visit these enormous mountains each year, and some have even died attempting to conquer these treacherous peaks.

A tiny route leads to Skardu Valley after Jaglot on the Karakoram Highway. Several streams, springs, and the hospitality of the locals greet one during the seven-hour ride.

One arrives in Shangrila shortly after crossing the Indus River on an ancient wooden bridge. During the strange mountains, Arif Aslam, Chairman of Shangrila Resorts, has created a wonderful universe.

Kachhura Village sits higher up, where the crystal-clear water of Kachhura Lake is encircled by old dramatic trees.

It’s a beautiful sight to see the sun rising behind the mountains. This was the first time I’d ever done something like this.

The Indus River takes on varied colors depending on the season, with turquoise waters on the banks in the winter and various shades of grey in the summer.

According to Tibetan legends, the Indus flows from the mouth of a lion, hence the name ‘Sher Darya’ (Lion River).

Katpana village’s sand dunes, often known as chilly desert, are a sight to behold. Strong gusts move the sand dunes as if they were nomads. This desert has an odd allure at such a high altitude and in such a chilly climate.
