If Hunza is Pakistan’s crown, then Skardu is its throne room. Perched at 2,228 metres in the heart of Gilgit-Baltistan, Skardu is the gateway to some of the most extraordinary landscapes on the planet: K2, Broad Peak, Masherbrum, and the Deosai Plains, a high-altitude wilderness that blooms wildly each summer.
But the heart of this itinerary is Fairy Meadows, a lush alpine plateau at 3,300 metres, cradled by dense pine forests, with Nanga Parbat (the world’s ninth highest mountain and one of the deadliest) rising impossibly large above you. You reach it by jeep track and a short hike, leaving the modern world behind entirely. At night, the sky here is something out of a dream.
This 8-day tour with Dost Tour and Travel combines the best of both worlds: the history and lakes of Skardu, and the raw wilderness of Fairy Meadows. You’ll travel in our private 4×4 fleet, sleep in comfortable guesthouses, and be guided by a team that knows every pass, every shortcut, and every best spot for a photograph. This isn’t just a tour — it’s an experience you’ll be talking about for the rest of your life.
