A panaroma of the skardu valley as taken from the balcony of the hotel I was staying.
Skardu is a district and the capital city of Baltistan, a subdivision of the Northern Areas of Pakistan. It is located in the wide (10 km) and long (40 km) Skardu Valley, in the very place in which the Indus River receives the Shigar River waters. Skardu is also a district of Gilgit-Baltistan. Situated at nearly 2500 m (8,200 feet), the town is surrounded by gray-brown coloured mountains, which hide the 8,000 metre peaks of the nearby Karakoram range. Skardu is also the stop over for reaching K-2, the second highest peak in the world.
