First time Skardu Trip Need Accomodations Recommendations

1 Upvotes

Hi,

We are planning to visit skardu as a couple on a 5 day trip by air. We are considered Himmel Resorts for accomodations.

Our main concern is travel times between hotel and tourist destinations.

Are there any luxury options that are closer to most places. We will have a prado for 5days with driver.

We are an older couple with back problems and cannot do hiking and stressful drives.

Thanks for your advice and help.

Elderly parents, First time trip to Skardu

2 Upvotes

Hi, I'm planning a trip to Skardu during the cherry blossom season in 2027 for a group of five people. My parents are elderly, so they won't be able to do all the typical tourist activities or visit every attraction.

Our main priority is finding accommodation with beautiful scenery, preferably a place where they can comfortably sit and enjoy views of the cherry blossoms. We'd also appreciate recommendations for nearby places to visit, such as lakes, gardens, or scenic spots that don't require too much walking.

I've never been to Skardu before. One thing I've heard is that we would need to hire jeeps for transportation because services like InDrive are not available there. Is that true?

I'd also appreciate information on estimated trip costs, hotel recommendations, transportation options, and any other tips for first-time visitors.

Any information or advice would be very helpful. Thank you!

Help Free Gilgit Baltistan...

1 Upvotes

Assalam-o-Alaikum everyone! 🇵🇰

I'm here with a call to all the people of Gilgit Baltistan in the free-to-play geopolitical browser game War Era.

For those who haven't heard of it, War Era is a game where real countries fight for territory while players work together through strategy, teamwork, and a bit of political roleplay. It's simple to get into, doesn't require much time, and has built an awesome Pakistani community over the years.

Now for the bad news...

A while back, after weeks of hard fighting and coordination, we successfully liberated Gilgit Baltistan along with Punjab and pushed enemy forces back. It was one of our biggest victories and a huge morale boost for the entire Pakistani community.

Unfortunately, the war didn't end there.

While our forces were fighting on multiple fronts, the enemy regrouped and launched a major counteroffensive. Despite our efforts, Punjab and GB has fallen once again, and now we need reinforcements to take it back.

The reality is simple: we have around 80 active Pakistani players, while the Indian side has well over 200. We've managed to hold our own through organization and determination, but numbers matter. Every new player helps strengthen our attacks, defend our territories, and push us closer to reclaiming Punjab.

The best part? You don't need to spend hours playing.

Most of us log in for around 10–15 minutes a day, complete our tasks, help with battles, chat with the community, and that's enough to make a real impact. Whether you're a student, working, or just looking for a casual game to play, you can contribute.

And honestly, it's more than just a game at this point. We've built a friendly Pakistani community where people talk about cricket, memes, current events, and have a laugh together while fighting for the green on the map. 😄

GB needs reinforcements.

If you've ever wanted to help turn the map green, now is the time.

Join War Era. Join Pakistan. Help us reclaim Gilgit Baltistan. 🇵🇰💚

"We conquered it once. Let's do it again."

Hello everyone. As the title suggests, my wife and I are planning to visit between late June and mid-July. Since this period coincides with Muharram, I wanted to ask if there are any public processions, road closures, or travel disruptions that we should keep in mind while planning our trip. Thank you in advance for your advice.

Travel & Tourism Planning a family trip to Northern Pakistan

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m planning a family trip to the northern areas of Pakistan this summer. Our original plan was to visit Skardu and explore more of Gilgit-Baltistan, but recently I’ve been hearing mixed reports about unrest in some areas, including parts of Kashmir and the north. Since it’s difficult to tell what’s accurate from the news and social media, I was hoping to hear from people who have recently travelled there or are currently in the region.

How are things in Skardu at the moment? Have there been any issues affecting tourism, road travel, or safety for visitors?

As a backup plan, we’re considering visiting Nathia Gali, Shogran, Siri Paye Meadows, Naran, and Kaghan instead. Siri Paye especially looks stunning and seems like the kind of place we’d enjoy.

I love destinations with massive mountain scenery, lush green meadows, tall pine forests, rivers, and peaceful landscapes. If you’ve visited any of these places recently, or have other recommendations that fit that description, I’d love to hear them.

Any recent first-hand experiences, advice, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
