Hotels in Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan
Gilgit-Baltistan is a mountainous region in northern Pakistan, famous for hosting five of the world's highest peaks, including K2, and for the breathtaking Karakoram Highway. The climate varies wildly-summers (June-September) bring mild temperatures around 25°C (77°F), perfect for trekking to the Deosai Plains or trout fishing in the Indus River, while winters (December-February) drop to -15°C (5°F), turning valleys like Skardu into a hub for skiing at Naltar Valley. You can explore the ancient Baltit Fort in Hunza Valley during spring's dry, clear days (April-May), or brave the harsh cold for a chance to see frozen waterfalls in the Shigar Valley.
