An hour and a half away from Skardu airport lies the Serena Shigar Fort resort.
Skardu interestingly enough is one of highest elevation desert on our planet. Which makes the ride from the airport to the hotel even more magical. Within the span of a few miles you run into dried river bed, overflowing river banks, flowing sand dunes, wheat fields and apricot orchards, barren mountains and an explosion of greenery where the barren landscape meets the river.
