Hello Everyone!

I want to take a trip in September and i will be traveling solo. I am open to treks or would love to summit my first 4000m+ peak.

My dates are open but my trip can last for 10-12 days max - should be within September!

What are your recommendations? Anyone planning something similar within the similar time frame?

Fitness is moderate but Passion is beyond words!

Will be coming soon to skardu along a group tour.
I want to know that after spending my day along with the group can we explore streets by walk ,walk to cafes if they are opened at night or any local chai hotels if there are any , have tea or coffee and enjoy ourselves

Hi everyone,

I'm a Pakistani PhD student living abroad and would value responses from adults in Gilgit-Baltistan for a short study on financial decision-making. This is part of research across more than 70 countries, and I hope Pakistani perspectives from different regions are properly included.

Survey: https://www.soscisurvey.de/tricc-project/?q=PAK

You are eligible if you are 18+, currently live in Pakistan, and hold Pakistani citizenship. It is anonymous and takes about five minutes. Thank you!

Hey everyone, me and my friend are planning a trip to Skardu and wanted to ask about the current room prices there.
How much should we expect to pay for a basic double room for 2 people per night? We’re looking for budget options, nothing fancy.
Also, is it cheaper to book online or find a guesthouse/hotel after reaching Skardu?
Any recommendations for budget stays would be appreciated. Thanks!

My name is Muhammad Shah Zaib. I'm 23yo. Ever since I remember I wanted to shift towards North. So I did it. Just packed stuff and left. Been here for some time and think I'm not going back at all.

I’d really like to get to know the people, culture and local way of life, learn the language, and make genuine friendships.

I’d love some advice from locals or people who’ve been here for a while:

1. I’d really like to learn the local language(s). What are the best resources or ways to learn? Not YouTube, it's messy.

2. What’s the best place to start meeting people and making genuine friendships? Any communities, activities, cafés, clubs, volunteering, etc. that are good for this?

3. What are some niche things about living in GB that outsiders usually don’t know? Not the obvious tourist/general things. I’m interested in the subtle.

Basically, I want to live here, not just visit. Any advice from locals would be really appreciated.

PS I have a BA in English and dropped out of BS English 5th semester for this. Would love to be friends with anyone who's able to hold a good conversation.

Edit: I'm in Gilgit city right now. Will be here for long. Not until I find some small town I really love and where I can build permanent residence.

Is it a good idea to visit in December? I wanna go to Hunza, Skardu, Gilgit, Kashmir, Peshawar, Lahore, and Karachi and other places. Or is it too cold?

Planning a 5-day trip to Skardu with my spouse and kid in the last week of September.

I’ve never been to Skardu before, so wanted to ask people who have been there around this time — how is the weather and overall experience in the last week of September?

Is it too cold, especially at night, for a kid? Also, is Deosai/Sheosar usually accessible around this time, or does it depend heavily on the weather?

I’m mainly planning to explore Skardu and nearby areas rather than trying to cover too much in 5 days. Would also love to know what places you’d consider must-visits.

And how is the scenery around late September? Do you get to see any autumn colors, or is it still mostly green?

Would appreciate any tips, especially from anyone who has actually visited around late Sept.

Hi all I am planning a trip to Skardu By air in the last week of January.... Those who already have been there in this time span.. can you guys recommend do's and Don't about it..

How is the weather and how's the tourist spots... Would it be worth it?

Many people in Gilgit-Baltistan delay or avoid surgery simply because they cannot afford the cost of treatment.

I’m currently working as a General Surgeon at Zubaida Khaliq Memorial Hospital Thorgu Branch, where consultation, treatment and surgical procedures are provided completely free of cost.

I’m available to assess and manage a wide range of surgical conditions, including both elective and emergency cases, and perform various general surgical procedures such as:

🔹 Appendicitis and abdominal emergencies

🔹 Hernia surgery

🔹 Gallbladder surgery

🔹 Abscesses and wound procedures

🔹 Minor and day-case surgical procedures

🔹 Other common general surgical conditions

If you or anyone you know has a surgical problem and is worried about the cost of treatment, please don’t ignore it because of financial difficulties.

You can visit Zubaida Khaliq Memorial Hospital for assessment and appropriate surgical care without the burden of hospital and surgical charges.

🙏 Please share this post in your WhatsApp groups, Facebook groups and with friends and family.

A simple share may help someone who has been postponing necessary treatment because they cannot afford it.
