Pakistan’s landscapes are truly breathtaking..

Standing there at 7,500 feet with the white sand under your feet and the Karakoram peaks looking down at you is something we never take for granted. If you're planning to visit our home, here is how to experience Sarfaranga properly, respect the local culture, and avoid the usual tourist traps.
Most people don't realize that Sarfaranga isn't just a random desert; it's a high-altitude ecosystem carved by the Indus River and glacial winds over thousands of years. It’s only a 20 to 30-minute drive from main Skardu city. Please don’t overpay drivers for "special 4x4 tours" just to get to the desert, the main roads are completely paved and smooth. Any regular car can get you to the entrance.

Rescue efforts on Broad Peak remain active today following the devastating avalanche. Here are the latest official updates from the ground:

• Current Status: Sadly, eight climbers' bodies have been recovered so far.
• Missing: Two climbers remain missing, and the search continues.
• Solidarity on the Mountain: In an incredible show of support, several K2 expedition teams have voluntarily suspended their own climbing activities to assist with the rescue mission.
• Leadership: The search and rescue operation is currently being led by veteran Nepali climber Mingma G.

Our thoughts are with the families of the victims and the brave rescue teams putting their lives on the line.

Skardu: Search and rescue operations to find climbers missing on #BroadPeak have been suspended for the day because of weather conditions, according to the Faisal Ehsan Pirzada, home secretary of #GilgitBaltistan .Pirzada confirmed that the operations would start again tomorrow.

The ACP expressed its deepest condolences to the bereaved families and the international mountaineering community, describing the tragedy as a profound loss for climbers around the world.

Flying into Skardu is not just a journey, it’s an experience of a lifetime. Snow-covered peaks, deep valleys, and the mighty Karakoram views from above make it one of the most breathtaking flights in the world.

Every second in the air feels like you’re entering another world.. pure, wild, and untouched nature.

Skardu truly deserves to be called a paradise in the sky..

Driving through the mighty Karakoram highway one of the most breathtaking roads in the world..the journey is just as beautiful as the destination.

إِنَّا لِلَّٰهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ

A tragic accident on the Fairy Meadows Road in Diamer has claimed the lives of seven people, including six tourists and their driver.

According to reports, the vehicle fell into a deep ravine, and all passengers lost their lives at the scene. Rescue teams, police, and local volunteers responded immediately and carried out recovery operations.

My thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families during this heartbreaking time. May Allah grant the departed eternal peace and give strength and patience to their loved ones.

Roads in the northern areas can be beautiful but also challenging. This tragedy is a painful reminder of the importance of road safety and caution while traveling.

Rest in peace. 🤲

Don Rob Show is a foreign traveler currently touring Pakistan. He is showing Pakistan’s hospitality, culture, and natural beauty to the world, and has become quite popular among people.

Earlier in Karachi, he entertained everyone with his friendly and positive personality, and now he has reached Skardu. He is truly impressed by the beauty of Skardu..

Just a fun thought..karachi’s guy is now enjoying skardu, while many of them still planning trips 😄

They said they were honestly speechless in front of the mountains.. and that no photo or video can capture the real beauty of Skardu. What’s even more interesting is that they were unsure about visiting Pakistan at first, but their experience completely changed their mindset.

This is exactly why people should explore Pakistan’s northern areas themselves instead of believing assumptions. 🇵🇰

The beauty of Skardu isn’t just visual .. it changes your perception.
