One of the most unique places in Skardu is the famous Sarfaranga/katpana Cold Desert, where you can witness sand dunes surrounded by snow-covered mountains at the same time.

It honestly feels unreal when cold winds, desert views, and majestic peaks all come together in one place. During winter, the desert sometimes gets covered with snow, making the whole landscape look like something from another world.

Whether you love adventure, peaceful landscapes, camping, photography, or simply nature..,Skardu’s Cold Desert gives a completely different experience from anywhere else in Pakistan.

This is the kind of beauty that makes Gilgit-Baltistan unforgettable 🇵🇰🏔️

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