Planning a Skardu honeymoon from Karachi on a strict 200k budget. Is it doable? Need realistic advice!

Hey everyone,

I’m planning my honeymoon for late August / early September. We’ll be travelling from Karachi, and honestly, we are on a tight budget—we can only spend around 200k PKR total for both of us, including absolutely everything.

My absolute dream is to experience the iconic Skardu flight and go glamping in Deosai. But looking at the numbers, I’m realising the flight alone might eat up a massive chunk of our budget.

We don't need high-end rooms or luxury hotels at all. As long as the place is clean, safe, and gives us our privacy, we are totally good. If glamping is going to completely break the bank, we are willing to drop the overnight stay and just do a day trip instead.

Given the 200k limit:

  1. Is this realistic? If flights take up 110k–120k, can we realistically manage jeep rentals, food, and clean rooms for 4-5 days on the remaining 80k?
  2. Glamping alternatives: If overnight glamping is out of reach, what’s the best way to experience Deosai on a budget?
  3. Hidden Gems: We want to avoid overly crowded, commercial spots where possible. What are some quiet, romantic, or lesser-known places we should look into?

Would love to get some honest feedback, budget hacks, or clean guesthouse recommendations from anyone who has done a budget trip there recently. Thanks!
