Hotels in Skardu

Bonjour from Chitral,

I've stayed once in K2 motel in 2007 and then in 2008 in Mushabroom hotel while making my way to K2 and Baltoro trekking expeditions,both hotels are excellent options.

Let me add another thing here that Kachura lake and Deosai national park are worth-seeing spots,once one is in Skardu.

Skardu is the center where-from once could move around as well as take a flight back to Islamabad airport.

Bon voyage mes amis ..

Upper Kachura Lake Camp Site (Ghazi Hotel): Tranquility in the Wilderness

There is a camping site in the close vicinity of the Upper Kachura Lake, which is actually a part of Ghazi Hotel, a small time hotel with very basic cooking, accommodation, and bathing facilities.

We did not stay at the camp site as we had already booked our accommodation besides Lower Kachura Lake but found the place worth it and wish to stay there in our next trip. However, we enjoyed fresh BBQed trout fish over there with juicy apricots.

Unique Quality: Ideally nestled in fruit laden trees and with heavenly views, the campsite is a paradise for nature lovers, umpteen miles away from the commercial world, and a perfect place to make a base not only for hiking and walking to nearby mountains but for exploring the Upper Kachura Lake, which requires more than one day to discover the treasures it offers, fully.

(Feel free to contact me at muzamil79@gmail.com if you require further information about the place)

Mashabrum Hotel: Skardu's 5 Star

Being the base to start adventure and other recreational travelling, Skardu attracts tourists from all over the world. Although, staying in Skardu does not make sense to many people and they want to depart to their destinations as soon as possible after reaching Skardu but at times it becomes inevitable because of the central and commercial nature of the city. For such inevitable and short stays, Hotel Mashabrum provides a quality service within the city center. In fact, the hotel does not belong to the 5* category but when comparing to other facilities in Skardu, it is the most modern choice among all.

Reminiscent of one of the highest peaks of Karakoram Range and of the World, Mashabrum, the hotel is located at the entrance of the city with all basic amenities including pick and drop service from the airport, if you are arriving by plane. You will most probably find a representative of the hotel at the airport lounge of Skardu Airport even if you have not informed them in advance. You may call up the hotel representative to pick you up from the bus stand, or form any other place, should you arrive by bus.

Although I planned to stay at this hotel initially but could not materialize it. However, this place is worth mentioning here beacuse of the paucity of accomodation options in this area.

Unique Quality: This hotel rightly claims to be the largest hotel in the area with all the modern facilities that can be expected in this far flung area. The hotel is well suited for people, for instance families, who are there for recreational purposes rather than for people who are there for adventure trips.

This facility is of rather commercial nature and situated in the main commercial city, therefore, one should not expect extraordinary views from the hotel.

PTDC K2 Motel, Skardu: One of my favorite places to stay!

This is a GREAT place to stay!

Really friendly staff, great dinner, scenic location overlooking the Indus River... although a little at the end of the Skardu town's main thoroughfare...

I had enquired at the desk if they had shampoo and they said no, but 10 mins later, one of the staff came knocking at my door, perspiring but all smiling, with shampoo. He had ran down to the shop in town just to get me some! Wow!

Dinner was great! I don't remember what I had but it was one of the best meals i've had in the country!

Bath water was FREEZING though, they only have hot water for a certain time of the day.

This place is a very popular choice for expeditioners from all over the world, to K2 and the other ranges... as evidenced by the photos along the hallways... they usually meet up and organise their treks here as well as to meet other trekkers/expeditioners.

Unique Quality: There is a PTDC office on site.
