K2 Motel: The place for most trekkers and mountaineers
K2 Motel is on one of the river banks in Skardu town. It is a well run and clean motel and is part of the PTDC chain of Motels run by the Department of Tousim.
K2 Motel is the choice of accommodation for almost all trekking groups (only Adventure Travel clients stay at Karakoram Towers and very few want the glitz of the Shangrila Resort). This is fairly eveident as you wander the halls and see all the notice boards for each year of trekking with stickers, autographs, ephemera and photos of amazing expeditions and treks in the Baltistan area.
I passed through K2 Motel once I had finished my trek and returned to Skardu - our trekking leader had booked a room which we used that afternoon to have our first shower since setting off from Skardu about 15 days earlier...bliss! I can't say how much the K2 Motel is since I didn't actually stay there but check out their website (below)
There are lovely lawns with views out across the sweeping river plains of Skardu - it is down near the river though (so the views don't rival the campground!)
There is also a nice restaurant serving hearty meals - we stopped for lunch upon returning to Skardu before heading up to the campground at Kachura.
In the carpark there are always plenty of Jepp drivers ready to pick up some business, there is also a small gift shop but its goods look a bit tired and uninspiring.
This photo is of our core trekking group of 5 trekkers as well as our guides (2) cooks(2) and assistants (2) - the porters left us in Hushe - we had a total of 25 support all up (porters, cooks, guides and assistants)

Shangrila Resort: If camping's not your thing......
Shangrila Resort is the top accommodation in Skardu. We didn't stay there so I can't really comment on the standard of the rooms etc, but this photo gives a bit of an overview of the resort - individual cabins fanning out around the artificial Kachura Lake.
Guests would boat on the lake and the large building in this photo is the floating Chinese Restaurant.
This photo was taken from the Adventure Travel Campground where I stayed (and would highly recommend - see separate accommodation tip), but Shangrila might be more your thing if you are looking for a luxury trip...
The resort has a honeymoon suite in the fuselage of an old Dakota DC3 aeroplane!

'Karakoram Towers' - Adventure Travel Campground: Stay at the REAL Shangrila! - Paradise in Pakistan
The campsite, of green terraced fields and with a nautral spring flowing through the middle is a haven from the dust of Skardu town. Sitting under the apricot trees next to the pond in the sun for breakfast was just great - a really nice way to relax and enjoy our surrounds before the big walk ahead. Also, the shower and toilet tent has tp have the best views of any toilet in the world - through the little window youo look the length of the Skardu valley...
The fact that the campsit is high up in the valley allows it to catch breeze in the evening to cool things down after the heat of the day
