Skardu Valley, which is 10 kilometers wide and almost 40
kilometers long, is located on the confluence of the famous River Indus and Shigar
River. The grey-brown mountains overlooking the Skardu town hide the countless
peaks of Karakorum mountain range, that also include four of the five eight thousanders located in Pakistan. The
four peaks include the K-2, the Gasherbrums and the Broad Peak, besides the
highest sheer verticals - the Trango Towers. Skardu is also the gateway to the
Deosai Plains, the second highest plains in the world at 13,500 feet, stretched
over an area of 3000 square kilometers.
