Skardu By Air Tour Packages – Fly from Lahore, Islamabad & Karachi
Skardu is, in short, Pakistan’s crown jewel of mountain tourism, and with North Voyagers’ Skardu by air tour packages, you can reach it in under 2 hours. As a result, you can fly directly from Lahore, Islamabad, or Karachi to Skardu Airport and skip the 16 to 20 hour road journey altogether. Instead, you get to spend your precious vacation days among the mountains, lakes, and ancient forts of Baltistan, rather than sitting in a car.
What is a Skardu By Air Tour Package?
A Skardu by air tour package is, essentially, a fully managed holiday to Baltistan, Gilgit-Baltistan, that replaces the 16–20 hour road journey with a direct flight of roughly 1 hour 20 minutes from Lahore, Islamabad, or a connecting flight from Karachi. Specifically, the North Voyagers Skardu tour package runs from 4 to 8 days and includes return airfare, hotel accommodation, a private vehicle with driver, a licensed local guide, meals as per itinerary, and entry fees to Shangrila Lake, Deosai National Park, Shigar Fort, Satpara Lake, and the Kachura Lakes. Overall, the Skardu tour package price for 2026 starts from Rs. 84,000 per couple for the 4-day Standard tier and scales up through Deluxe and Deluxe Plus hotel options.

What You’ll See in Baltistan
Every Skardu by air itinerary is built around these signature Baltistan landmarks.
Shangrila Lake
Every Shangrila Lake tour package begins at Shangrila Resort — popularly called Heaven on Earth — which sits beside one of Pakistan’s most photographed lakes. In particular, the iconic airplane-turned-restaurant, the mirror-like Shangrila Lake, and surrounding apple orchards create a scene that feels almost unreal. As a result, this spot is the centerpiece of every Skardu by air tour.
Deosai National Park
A Deosai National Park tour by air puts you at 4,114 meters above sea level, on the world’s second-highest plateau. Because it opens only from July to September, this vast highland stays home to brown bears, Himalayan ibex, golden marmots, and wildflowers for just a few months each year. Consequently, the star-filled sky at Deosai is an experience that stays with travelers for life.
Shigar Fort
A Shigar Fort day tour brings you to the beautifully restored 420-year-old fort, which stands as a testament to Baltistan’s royal history. Indeed, its traditional carved woodwork, serene gardens, and location beside the Shigar River make it one of Pakistan’s most extraordinary historical sites. Today, it serves as a heritage hotel managed by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture.
Satpara Lake
A Satpara Lake boating tour is a highlight for most travelers, since the lake is Skardu’s main water reservoir and, additionally, a stunning natural attraction. Surrounded by barren mountains and reflecting the sky above, it offers boat rides, trout fishing, and spectacular views. Best of all, this is within 20 minutes of Skardu city.
Kachura Lakes
Hidden among the mountains above Skardu, the Kachura Lakes offer a more secluded and intimate experience. Thanks to their turquoise water and peaceful surroundings, these lakes have become a favourite among nature photographers and couples seeking quiet beauty.
Basho Valley & Khaplu Valley
Every Khaplu Valley tour by air can be paired with Basho Valley: longer Skardu itineraries, namely 5 days and up, add a 4×4 jeep safari into the pine-forested meadows of Basho Valley. Additionally, they include an overnight stay in ancient Khaplu Valley, home to the 600-year-old Chaqchan Mosque and Sarfaranga Cold Desert, Pakistan’s highest-altitude cold desert.
