Any idea about hotel rates in Hunza, Gilgit, Sost and Skardu

[pwuser149839278352]

Hi Guys,

New to this forum. Need help with hotel rates for these places since I know it is peak season and we will be travelling around 20th July to 27th July between these places.

1- Can anyone guide me as to what would be the price range for 6 people to spend 8 nights there?
2- Our 8 night hotel stay (just accommodation) budget is Rs. 50,000 is that enough?
3- We need to return to Islamabad from Skardu. We have our own car. Where can we spend one night on the way back or can we drive straight to Isb. How long will that take?

Thanks,
Kevin

depends on how many rooms will you take, 30K per head should be enough for everything.
2. like i said depends on how many rooms and how good you choose the hotel. you should keep 4000 for 1 night 1 room and you will be fine.
3. You can have a night stay in Naran/ Chillas i will prefer you to stay a night in Naran, if you are taking your own vehicle, then also visit hotels in Aliabad they will be cheaper then Hunza. and its about 1-2Km far from Hunza.

Hey thanks Saad.

1- Ok so u say 30k per head for 8 nights including food and everything right?
2- we are 6 people, all guys. Just need an average hotel to stay the night and not much more. so I think 5k per night should do it.

3- need a little help with the itinerary here though. Say we leave from Isb on 19th July at 9am. Take a night stay in Naran. From here on How do we go ahead to cover all places like Gilgit, Hunza, Pak-China border and then Skardu as well since we need to go to deosai plains. We need to spend 7 nights in Gilgit, Hunza and Skardu. Your help here with the plan would really be appreciated.

hey Kevin
You have enough days to cover and as you all are boys that makes it more easy to travel.

1. i believe if just plan to stay the night in hotel 6K is enough for 2 rooms. considering 3K per room.( Just calculating its your choice to stay in 1 room or 2 ) off course it will save you a few bucks in the end.
2. Keep light hand on food and travel more places should be your aim. although i wont say starve to death but a little comprise as you all are on trip.
   DAY 1. (ISL- Hunza is almost 750Km) but will take around 15-16hrs non stop.
   Consider leaving early on 19th July lets say you leave at 5am in morning, you will reach naran in 8-9 hrs max from there see if you can leave for Hunza (or stay in Chillas) It will take another 10-12 hrs max to reach Hunza, this will save you a day but sure it will be a long journey.
   Day 2. Supposing you stayed in Chillas:
   again leave early see if you can visit Naltar Valley in between but stay in Hunza/Aliabad .
   Day 3. Visit Altit and Baltit fort( if you would like, Karimabad will come in between. Eagles Nest can be a worth visit in Hunza. Night stay in same hotel
   Day 4. Leave for Khunjrab yes early in morning, come back to Hunza Stay for the night.
   Till here it makes 4 NIghts.
   Day 5 . Reach Skardu, look for people who can help you in camping at deosai. local Jeep drivers and restaurants will help .
   Day 6. Visit Shigar, and Khaplu night stay in Khaplu or drop Khaplu come back to Skardu.
   Day 7. visit Shangrilla and Kachura lake . Night stay in Skardu
   Day 8. leave For Deosai early in morning. sadpara lake will come in between. also visit Sheosar Lake in Deosai .
   Day 9 leave for Shogran/ Naran stay a night .
   Day 10 Leave for Islamabad .

Now these are some place you should visit while traveling to Gilgit, Skardu, Hunza, Sost.
you may leave few place to save your time and night.

from 19-27 it gives you 9 days and 8 nights . adjust your plan accordingly. As its KKH you never know if the road is blocked ahead or what else, soo actual trip will happen when you reach from one place to other.
Give priorities to places and you will be fine.
30K/person should do it but always do keep few extra bucks for mishaps. And don't think about FInger FIsh and Chicken Tikka except for one night and that should be BBQ at Deosai.

Add ATTABAD and passu lake also

Consider leaving early on 19th July lets say you leave at 5am in morning, you will reach naran in 8-9 hrs max from there see if you can leave for Hunza (or stay in Chillas) It will take another 6-8 hrs max to reach Hunza, this will save you a day but sure it will be a long journey.

How on earth will you make it ??From Naran to Hunza in 6-8 hours ? Never...minimun 10 and maximum 12-13 hours..
Plus keep in mind civil administration close babusar top for all type of traffic sharp at 1700 hrs daily....

Day 4. Leave for Khunjrab yes early in morning, come back to Hunza Stay for the night. Till here it makes 4 NIghts.

Leave for khunjerab early in the morning and then come back to gilgit for night stay...not hunza...you can easily make it to gilgit in afternoon...and from there it will take upto 8 hours to reach skardu..max 9 hours..

[pwuser149839278352]

[saad2000]

With due respect, although i took this figure from Google Maps, but you are right this can be 750Kms physically . Noted and Edited. Thank You for your time and correction.

Hey Alishan,

Do you think I can make it to Chilas from Isb within the 3pm deadline of Babusar pass closing? OR is is better to spend the night in Naran and then leave for Hunza to be on the safer side?

[drnuman1]

Send your no I send you a figure chart

[saad2000]

PM sent.

[alishankhann]

ops sorry..babusar closure time is 1700hrs...my mistake...and add 8 hours from islamabad to naran..and 3-4 hours naran to babusar top...it will be tiring journey though...
but it will be difficult because it will take 3-4 hours just to reach top from naran...
if you start your journet 05:00am in the morning, still it is difficult..
