Skardu is the gateway to some of the most spectacular landscapes on earth: Deosai, Shangrila, the Shigar Valley and the cold desert. Getting there from Karachi by road is a true adventure, and a chauffeur-driven Land Cruiser makes the long, rugged journey safe and comfortable.
The journey
At around 2,000 km, this is among the longest road trips in Pakistan, driven over two to three days each way with overnight stops, climbing up into Baltistan on mountain roads that reward a strong 4x4 and an experienced driver. You relax and watch the scenery unfold; we handle the rest.
Best vehicle for this route
- Toyota Land Cruiser: the right tool for Skardu, rugged, reliable and comfortable on long mountain stretches and tracks like Deosai.
- Toyota Fortuner: a capable option for smaller groups on the main routes.
