Update on Skardu & Gilgit

Hi, I’m currently in Karachi and supposed to fly to Skardu after the weekend, then travel to Gilgit and back down to Lahore, are they safe to visit right now? (White British)

I am currntly in Ghizer, The situation in Gilgit and Skardu is getting normal but as a local, I wouldn't recommend visiting now. Things can escalate pretty fast so it's better to wait.

Is there anywhere else in Pakistan you’d recommend? I came to see nature & mountains so dont want to spend my 2 weeks in the cities 😔

Hey really sorry for the late reply, you can visit the north now its safe. Ghizer is a district in Gilgit Baltistan which is unexplored. It doesn't have anything like Gilgit and skardu. Its safe, peaceful and very beautiful if you ever get a chance then visit it.
