Skardu has quietly become one of Pakistan’s most popular honeymoon destinations, and it’s easy to see why once you’re standing at Shangrila watching the sun set over Lower Kachura Lake.
Most romantic spots
- Shangrila Resort — sunset over the lake, and the famous airplane restaurant for a memorable dinner
- Upper Kachura Lake — a quiet boat ride away from the crowds
- Shigar Fort Residence — a genuinely romantic overnight stay inside a restored royal palace
Where to splurge
If your budget allows one upgrade, make it accommodation — a night at Shigar Fort Residence, Rivage Resort in Shigar Valley, or FortuNorth Resort elevates the whole trip in a way a slightly longer itinerary usually doesn’t.
Pacing your itinerary
The biggest mistake we see honeymooning couples make is over-packing the schedule. Build in unstructured time — a lakeside afternoon with nowhere to be is often the highlight people remember most, not the eighth attraction of the day.
Our Honeymoon-tagged packages are built with this pacing in mind — fewer stops per day, better hotels, and sunset timing built into the schedule rather than treated as incidental.
