Skardu Track Tour
A tour built for travelers who want real walking time, not just vehicle sightseeing — a series of accessible tracks and trails around Skardu strung together into one itinerary. Sits between our standard sightseeing tours and the serious multi-week expedition treks like K2 Base Camp: genuine trail time each day, but no technical skill or extended trekking commitment required.
Tour Highlights
Day-by-Day Itinerary
Day 1 — Arrive & Kharpocho Fort Track
Arrive Skardu, check in. Afternoon hike up the Kharpocho Fort track — a short, moderately steep trail with panoramic sunset views over the Indus Valley.
Day 2 — Nangsoq & Chunda Valley Walking Tracks
A full morning walking through Nangsoq Valley's organic farm tracks, followed by the streamside trails of Chunda Valley in the afternoon — an easy, low-altitude introduction to the trip's walking pace.
Day 3 — Upper Kachura & Satpara Lakeside Tracks
Walk the trail up to Upper Kachura Lake, then a lakeside track at Satpara Lake in the afternoon — two contrasting lake walks in a single day.
Day 4 — Basho Valley Forest & Meadow Trail
A proper half-day trail through Basho Valley's pine forest into the open alpine meadows above — the most substantial walking day so far, following the valley's glacial stream upward.
Day 5 — Deosai Plateau Walking Track
Drive up to Deosai, then walk sections of the plateau on foot rather than only viewing it from the vehicle — open, level walking at altitude, with wildflower meadows in season (June–August).
Day 6 — Return to Islamabad
Early departure via the KKH, arriving Islamabad by evening.

Frequently Asked Questions
No — the tracks included are all accessible trails rather than technical routes, suited to reasonably fit travelers who enjoy walking. It's more demanding than our standard sightseeing tours but well short of expedition-level trekking.
This tour strings together a series of shorter, accessible day-walks around Skardu with comfortable hotel stays each night — no camping, no multi-day wilderness trekking, no porters required. Our dedicated treks are a different, more serious undertaking.
Comfortable walking 2-4 hours on uneven trail terrain, several days in a row. The Basho Valley and Deosai days are the most demanding; the rest are genuinely accessible to most reasonably active travelers.
