I found it great of an evening just to sit out under the stars and watch the sky with the slight shillouette of the valley wall thousands of feet above you.
Where we were staying up near Kachura village we felt these amazing changing winds coming up the valley blowing warm air at one moment and cool night air the next. I thought Skardu was just the most magical place and would return there tomorrow if travel in Pakistan was a bit more settled!
