Travel to Skardu

annexation of Gilgit Baltistan by Pakistan, the road has been closed. Whilst the Indian Government has been interested in opening the road as a humanitarian gesture, this initiative has been refused by the Pakistani Government.

The climate can have adverse effects on transport in and out of the Skardu Valley, as Skardu becomes snowbound during the winter months. Often the roads in and out of Skardu (and other Northern Areas locations) can be blocked for weeks at a time depending on conditions (though two to five days is more normal), sometimes leaving air travel as the only feasible alternative. However, air travel in winter is also subject to disruption due to the unreliable Skardu weather and flights can occasionally be delayed by several days
