A full-day visit to the dunes of the Sarfaranga Cold Desert, the village of Hussainabad with its spectacular view of the valley, the Buddhist carvings of Manthal Buddha Rock, the market of Skardu, and the villages of the Shigar Valley.
A full-day drive along the Indus and Shoyok Rivers to visit the beautiful Khaplu Valley. If time permits, we will drive from Khaplu into the Hushe Valley to the village of Machulu. If weather permits, you can see the Karakoram rock peaks and Masherbrum (7,821m), also known as K1.
A full-day visit to Deosai National Park. On the plateau at an average altitude of 4,200 meters, you may be lucky enough to see Himalayan brown bears and long-tailed marmots. Weather permitting, we will view Nanga Parbat, the world's ninth tallest peak, from Sheosar Lake. In July, alpine flowers bloom, leading some to call it the “Garden in the Sky.”
