Hey everyone!

If you are planning your next trip around Pakistan—whether it's the beautiful northern areas (Hunza, Skardu, Swat) or historic places—I highly recommend checking out 7safar.pk.

They offer really well-managed tour packages, customized itineraries, and affordable rates for families, solo travelers, and groups. It makes exploring Pakistan super easy and hassle-free.

Has anyone here traveled with them recently? Would love to hear your reviews!

I'm planning to work from Hunza for 2 weeks. I see there is already a community of nomads and internet might just work but I can't get in touch with any local digital nomad communities. Does anyone have any leads?

I've been trying to get in touch with Digital Hub Hunza but no response so far.

So in hunza the rakaposhi mountains are snowcapped all year and are visible from the hunza city

Are SNOWCAPPED" mountains visible 12 months in skardu city?

I'm not just asking about simple mountains, I'm asking is the snow visible on the peak of the mountains all year from the skardu city?

So as everyone might know that vocation houses are not used much, like only twice a year for few weeks,so there's a concept in west keh people buy vocation homes on partnership like 2-3 people and use it whenever they need it

This concept is not common in Pakistan,so i was thinking to buy one and i need a partner

Like a 3.5 marla house in skardu costs around 7.5 million pkr,so if we are 3 partners,we only have to spend 2.5 million pkr per person and get the benefits of a full house,also build a 10 marla house (5marla building,5 marla garage) within 9 million pkr total in the outskirts/suburbs of skardu,

Lastly this is not a spam post so if anyone amongst you is serious and interested or have queries lemme know

I've experienced that people of hunza are very sophisticated, respectful and friendly whereas the people of skardu are rude,mean and try to scam you

Is my experience right? if yes what's the reason

I'm travelling to Skardu and have paid a guy 195k for a 7 day package. Includes breakfast + Prado with fuel and the following itinerary:

1. Kachura and Xoq valley

2. Deosai and Sheosar lake

3. Mantokha waterfall and khaplu

4. Shigar valley and Sarfaranga desert

5. Manthal budha rock and shooting range

6. Chunda valley

7. Return

Stay

- Sehrish guesthouse - 4 nights

- Broq resort - 1 night

- Hashupi resort - 1 night

Edit: Guys I booked this trip for September back in early July that's why I got slightly better rates. Also, you'll notice it's missing Basho valley and a few other locations. On that note, should we add / replace any location?

GB is generally a very pretty place and the people of GB would be much closer and better under Indian controlled Kashmir rather then Pakistan, given your dislike for the pakistani govt, would you join india?

I'm planning a trip in mid September, call me skeptical but i'm slightly worried now. I know we can never know Allah's plans and predict Nature but on the safe side is weather usually ok in Sept for Skardu and Hunza both. My main concerns are mostly landslides

Dug into this since every fare calculator site quotes ~$14 for Skardu to Deosai, which is wrong, that's a generic taxi formula, not an actual 4x4 rate for a rough mountain road.

Actual costs:

· Shared jeep (full day, split 5-6 ways): 5,000–6,000 PKR/person

· Solo jeep hire: 25,000–30,000 PKR total

· Foreign entry fee: 3,100 PKR/person, cash only, keep your ticket for exit

· Locals pay less (200 -500), confirm at gate, changes yearly

Tips: ask your Skardu guesthouse the night before to split a jeep, bring your own snacks/water (nothing sold up there), go in September for fewer crowds and easier ride-sharing.

Day trip only, no extra cost. Overnight camping adds a permit + a few thousand PKR more, but the stars at 4,100m with zero light pollution are worth it.

Anyone been recently? Curious if fees have shifted.

I am traveling to Hunza so suggest best hotels and places to visit.

Hello all.

For peeps interested in riding bikes in the mountains (BEST THING EVER) I’m taking a small group maybe 3-4 people in September that you can join.

My name is Ebtesam Ahmed and I’m a adventure guide / biking enthusiast from the country.

I have been riding motorcycle across the northern region for the last 10 years and qualify as the perfect fixer for your first time biking experience.

If you or anyone you know might be interested in joining this, dm me on instagram. Artists preferred.

Edit: Women are welcome!

I am planning for a Hunza trip from Islamabad in the end of September. What is the best route and what are the road conditions? Also, where should I stay the first night?

Hi everyone,

I'm planning a 7-day / 6-night private Skardu trip for two people in mid-September (around Sept 14/15).

I've been quoted PKR 550,000 total for the couple, and before booking I wanted opinions from people familiar with current Skardu prices. I'm especially wondering whether I'm paying too much of a premium for the hotels/private setup.

Package includes:

• Round-trip Islamabad ↔ Skardu airline tickets for 2
• Private Toyota Prado for all days
• Fuel
• Driver + guide
• Skardu airport pickup/drop-off
• Breakfast
• 3 nights Khar Resort Skardu
• 2 nights Khoj Resort Shigar – River's Edge King Hammock Villa
• 1 night Gumaan Resort Skardu

The Prado is supposed to cover the itinerary including Deosai and Basho without additional transportation charges.

Itinerary

Day 1 – Kachura / Soq

• Islamabad → Skardu flight
• Shangrila / Lower Kachura
• Upper Kachura Lake
• Soq Valley
• Night at Khar Resort

Day 2 – Deosai

• Sadpara Lake
• Deosai National Park
• Bara Pani
• Kala Pani
• Sheosar Lake
• Night at Khar Resort

Day 3 – Skardu

• Chunda Valley
• Kharpocho Fort
• Katpana Cold Desert around sunset
• Night at Khar Resort

Day 4 – Shigar

• Manthoka Waterfall
• Sarfaranga Cold Desert
• Blind Lake
• Shigar Old Town
• Shigar Fort
• Night at Khoj Resort – King Hammock Villa

Day 5 – Basho

• Basho Valley / Sultanabad
• Chocolate Rocks / waterfall if accessible
• Return to Khoj Resort
• Night at Khoj

Day 6 – Relaxation day

• Relaxed breakfast/morning at Khoj
• Spend part of the day enjoying the resort
• Later transfer back toward Skardu
• Final night at Gumaan Resort

Day 7

• Gumaan → Skardu Airport
• Flight to Islamabad

Activities, entry fees, boating, meals other than breakfast, etc. would be additional.

Total package price: PKR 550,000 for two people including flights.

My main questions:

1. Does 550k seem reasonable for this package or overpriced?
2. Are Khar + Khoj + Gumaan worth paying a premium for?
3. Would you do 2 nights at Khoj, or is it not worth the extra cost?
4. Does this itinerary make sense geographically?
5. Is the private Prado useful enough to justify the cost?
6. Would you change or remove anything?
7. Is moving from Khoj to Gumaan on Day 6 a good idea so we're closer to the airport?
8. What would you consider a fair price for this exact package in September 2026?

I'm looking for a comfortable/private trip rather than the cheapest possible tour, but I also don't want to overpay significantly just because the hotels are considered premium.

Would appreciate opinions, especially from anyone who has traveled to Skardu recently or booked similar hotels/private tours.

Anyone from Skardu available right now? My 11 month daughter is not well and I want a child specialist to see her? Does anyone know good doctors in Skardu?
