When should you visit Gilgit-Baltistan?

There is no single season that tells the whole story of Gilgit-Baltistan. Blossom, high summer and autumn colour each bring a different reason to spend time in the valleys and mountains.

Skardu and Hunza have journeys from April to October. April and May are blossom season; apricot blossom usually peaks in April, though timing varies each year. September and October bring autumn colour.

Treks run from June. Fairy Meadows has a June-to-October season, Deosai June to September, and K2 and Masherbrum June to August. Nights are cooler, and mountain weather can change quickly.

Silk Road Valleys brings Skardu and Hunza together in one journey, with forts, orchards and high villages. In autumn, the same itinerary runs through golden poplars and harvest colour. A consultation helps connect the season with the places you want to explore.
