In the extreme north of Pakistan, there lies a central
valley of Gilgit Baltistan known as Skardu, which is a manifest of beauty, charm
and wilderness.
After Jaglot on the Karakoram highway, a small narrow
road leads towards Skardu on a seven hour drive during which, one is greeted
with towering mountains, stunning streams and an amazing hospitality of locals.
After crossing the wooden bridges over river Indus, one reaches to the breathtaking
Shangrila resorts amidst surreal mountains. Higher up in the Kachhura village
there is a wonderful Kachhura lake with crystal clear water surrounded by woodland.
Moving ahead from Skardu bazaar, a road leads to Pakistan’s highest plains,
Deosai, from where a staggering Sadpara lake can be seen, which on a full moon
night is a picture perfect image. Sun sets earlier in mountains than plains and
the interval between sunset and nightfall is a sight that cannot be described
in words to someone who hasn’t been a witness to this.
