Skardu’s beauty shines in every season, but choosing the right time to visit depends on what kind of experience you’re looking for. Here’s a seasonal breakdown to help you plan the perfect trip.
Spring (April to June)
Spring in Skardu is a magical time when the valleys come alive with blooming apricot and cherry blossoms. The temperatures are mild, and the scenery is vibrant — perfect for sightseeing, photography, and light trekking.
Summer (July to September)
This is peak tourist season. The weather is warm during the day and cool at night, making it ideal for outdoor adventures. Most roads and mountain passes are accessible, and places like Deosai and Satpara Lake are at their most beautiful.
Autumn (October to mid-November)
Skardu in autumn is a painter’s dream — golden trees, crisp air, and fewer crowds. It’s a great time for a peaceful, scenic retreat. However, nights can get quite chilly, so pack accordingly.
Winter (December to March)
Winters in Skardu are cold and snowy. While some roads may be closed, it’s a quiet, serene time to visit if you enjoy snow-covered landscapes, local winter festivals, and cozy indoor stays. Guman Resorts, with its warm hospitality, makes a great winter hideaway.
