Planning a trip to Skardu? Whether you’re hiking through mountain trails or enjoying peaceful evenings at a resort, packing smartly can make all the difference. Here’s a quick guide to help you prepare.
1. Layered Clothing
Skardu’s weather can change quickly — sunny days, chilly evenings, and occasional rain. Pack layers like t-shirts, warm sweaters, and a waterproof jacket. Even in summer, evenings can get cold.
2. Comfortable Footwear
You’ll likely be doing a lot of walking, so bring sturdy, comfortable shoes or hiking boots. Sandals or slippers are great for relaxing at your hotel or resort.
3. Sun Protection
At higher altitudes, the sun is stronger. Bring sunglasses, sunscreen, and a cap or hat to protect your skin and eyes.
4. Travel Essentials
Don’t forget a reusable water bottle, power bank, hand sanitizer, basic medicines, and a flashlight — especially if you plan to explore remote areas.
5. Documents & Cash
Keep your ID card (or passport for international travelers) with you. ATMs can be limited, so it’s wise to carry some cash in small denominations.
