Road condition from jaglot to chilum is in quite bad shape but still manageable. From chilum upto sheosar lake is good. And from shoesar lake till sadpara lake is off road. From sadpara lake to skardu is good.

Deosai opens in end of June till October.

In June July I think hotels would be a bit expensive due to peak season.

8-12 days would be enough.

AOA, Dear fayyaz you may go every where skardu and its surroundings on bike but weather and roads should favourable l mean clean from snow , you may go deosai from both sides I,e from skardu and also from astor , but have to watch rain forecast even every hour, but my advise that you go to hunza if you didn’t have visit earlier, select the month of July, so babusar to will have open till that , only from chilas to rikot 40 km is bad patch but rest journey will be a marvellous memory, baqi aap ki marzi

My advise is to go to deosai from astore side from there climbing would be easier. Climbing from skardu side not recommended due to bad condition of road and chances of land slide. Also make sure weather is clear as advised by nauman sb.

Brother im from shigar skardu Baltistan we went to skardu from Islamabad on Road Prince 70, United 70, and YBR 125G at 12 June 2018.
You should Travel between June to August because after that Roads are very slippery due to Heavy Snow and babusar top is open only for three months the other route is from kohistan which is open always but it is very long route more than 6 to 8 hours than babusar road following is the route details
From islamabad to skardu via Muzaffarbad, Ghari Habibullah, Balakot, Naran Kaghan, Babusar top, Chillas, Astore, Chillim, Deosai, Skardu it took total 18 hours for us bike riding 620 KMs
