Should I visit both Skardu and Hunza in just 8 days?

Should I visit both Skardu and Hunza in just 8 days?

Hi. I'm planning a trip to the northern areas but I'm confused about whether I should visit Hunza only, Skardu only, or both together. I'll be traveling from Karachi, so I have around 12 days in total (8 days from Islamabad).

I've shortlisted Travel With Smile and 0KM Tour Planners. 0KM offers both a Hunza and Naltar package and a Mega Trip covering Hunza and Skardu. I also found this Travel With Smile itinerary that covers both Hunza and Skardu in 8 days from Islamabad.

For those who've been there, does this 8-day itinerary look reasonable, or will it be too rushed? What would you recommend?

Are 95 points enough for 491 (Mechanical Engineer - Offshore)?

I am an offshore applicant looking to apply for a Subclass 491 visa under Mechanical Engineer (ANZSCO 233512) and would like to know whether I have a realistic chance of receiving a state nomination/invitation.

My total points are 95, including the 15 points for state nomination.

Here is my points breakdown:

  • Age: 30
  • English (Superior): 20
  • Overseas work experience: 5
  • Australian work experience: 0
  • Qualifications: 15
  • Partner skills: 10
  • State nomination (491): 15

Total: 95 points

Based on this score and my occupation, do I have a fair chance of receiving a state nomination or 491 invitation as an offshore applicant? If yes, in which state I am most likely to receive the invite?
