Skardu By Air Tour Highlights
Shangrila Lake – Heaven on Earth
Shangrila Resort — popularly called Heaven on Earth — sits beside one of Pakistan’s most photographed lakes. The iconic airplane-turned-restaurant, the mirror-like Shangrila Lake, and surrounding apple orchards create a scene that feels almost unreal. This is the centerpiece of every Skardu by air tour.
Deosai National Park
At 4,114 meters above sea level, Deosai is the world’s second-highest plateau. Open from July to September only, this vast highland is home to brown bears, Himalayan ibex, golden marmots, and wildflowers. The star-filled sky at Deosai is an experience that stays with travelers for life.
Shigar Fort
The beautifully restored 420-year-old Shigar Fort stands as a testament to Baltistan’s royal history. Its traditional carved woodwork, serene gardens, and location beside the Shigar River make it one of Pakistan’s most extraordinary historical sites. It now serves as a heritage hotel managed by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture.
Satpara Lake
Satpara Lake is Skardu’s main water reservoir and a stunning natural attraction. Surrounded by barren mountains and reflecting the sky above, it offers boat rides, trout fishing, and spectacular views — all within 20 minutes of Skardu city.
Kachura Lakes – Upper and Lower
Hidden among the mountains above Skardu, the Kachura Lakes offer a more secluded and intimate experience. The turquoise water and peaceful surroundings make these a favourite among nature photographers and couples seeking quiet beauty.
