Thank you for your reply. The trip has now been changed to Hunza only on wishes of fellow travellers. I hope it will be worthwhile.

Salam.. you've always been very helpful to all fellow pakwheelers. Great work. just wanted to know about road condition for skardu. I believe babusar will b closed in mid march otherwise would have loved to go thru that route. I want to skip swat in favor of skardu but i need to know the feasible for a 5dy family trip to skardu

Thanks

Skardu road today at bageecha rondu

[nagar1]

If you like to see sunrise do go to eagle nest early morning....nagar is across the river hunza and there are many places to see i.e hoper glacier, blossom in nagar khas, minapen, rakaposhi view point ghulmit etc etc....
In hunza famous places are attabad lake,passu cones,borith lake ,passu glacier
Khunjerab will be closed in march

5 days woùld not be enough for skardu...by road travel will take more than three days approx (both ways)

Skardu road work is in progress but there are too frequent landslides specially in rondu district that is in almost in mid of jaglot-skardu...most of the road has been paved but this portion causes many problems...but once in skarsu there are many places to see and not too far from city...shangrilla ,upper kachura and Soq village can be done in one day...shiger desert,mantokha waterfall can be done in one day

Since you're flying and have already been to Hunza, Skardu should be your destination now.

I said that based on post # 1229 of nagar1

"blossom in skardu, hunza/nagar and gilgit, is beautiful...in terms of access hunza/nagar are easiest...skardu road is not ready yet. One option could be going by air to skardu if finances allow...Skardu is most beautiful among all..."

[drimranarif]

Alright... thx

[nagar1]

Skardu is best sir...and april first week will be the right time...chunda valley, shigar ,khaplu are worthseeing during blossom season
