Planning an 8-day Skardu trip in mid-July - Need some advice
Hi everyone!
I'm planning an 8-day family trip to Skardu in the middle of July and would love some advice from people who have visited recently.
- How is the weather in mid-July?
- Does it rain a lot, or is it still a good time for sightseeing?
- How crowded is Skardu during this time? Are the tourist spots and hotels very busy?
- Are the roads generally safe and open?
I'm also looking for accommodation suggestions.
Would you recommend staying at resorts like Shangrila and Himmel, or would it be better to stay in guest houses surrounded by nature for a more peaceful experience?
Lastly, I'm looking for a reliable, honest driver+guide with a Prado for the entire trip. If you've personally had a good experience with someone, please share their contact details.
Any recommendations for hotels, guest houses, or drivers would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
