avoid the trip sir snow fall already started up north. You shall be having snow wheels & chains over your suv with a backup vehicle in reachable distance .

@hanifbhatti saheb is the Vasco Da Gama of Pakistan he is the one who can give your precise details to accomplish such trip at right time

I did solo trip to chillas in July in my gli 2018
It was pretty amazing that's why I want to do it again.
So it's not possible to go without suv because I don't really own it

no sir after October going up north in a sedan is not advised. you may try in March when weather starts to get mild and snow is ploughed away.

That's sad to hear I always to wanted to see it in snow
But anyways thank you very much

don't be sad please, visit bus terminal in your town ask for road conditions and if a sedan can make it by following a bus track. - or call NATCO offices and check.

you may need recovery gear, snow tyres in your sedan and group of like minded friend(s). plan for Mid Feb onwards. Snow is there till March - April in Sakrdu

آپ کو مانسہرہ سے آگے شاہراہ قراقرم والا راستہ اختیار کرنا ہو گا جو کہ بشام ، پتن ، چلاس سے گزرتا ہے اور پھر جگلوٹ سے آگے سکردو روڈ۔ ویسے تو سکردو روڈ سارا سال کھلا رہتا ہے بس کچھ وقت کیلئے کسی لینڈ سلائیڈ وغیرہ کی وجہ سے بند ہوتا ہے۔

well i think u can reach skardu in december on car but not in jan feb... but its a long drive from lahore... and i went to skardu region on eid ul fitar and have a thread on that.... road is under construction and drive is horrible u must not love ur car do do it ...... i mean u must really dispise ur car hahahahahha....i think skardu road remains open for trafic all year around except the few extreme snow fall events....but i have never been there in winter........

Its better to hire some local transport rather than taking your sedan.
