Quiet lakes, restored palaces and star-filled skies: Pakistan’s most romantic mountain escape.
Skardu is one of Pakistan’s best honeymoon destinations. Choose May, September or early October for mild weather and calmer hotels, spend seven days, and split your stay between a lakeside resort near Kachura and a heritage night in Shigar or Khaplu.

Skardu gives you space. Lakes you can have almost to yourselves in the early morning, heritage palaces with a handful of rooms, and landscapes that feel like the edge of the world.
We plan unhurried days, private dinners and a vehicle that’s yours alone, so the trip feels like a retreat rather than a tour.
