valley is about 10km wide and 40km long. Skardu valley, along with Gilgit, are the two
major travel and leisure, hiking and adventure places inGilgit–Baltistan. The hilly
landscape of the area, , draws the
attention of visitors, trekkers and mountaineers from around the world. The
main vacationer year is from April to October; except now frame, the area can
be cut off for long stretches by the wintry, cold cold environment.
The environment of Skardu valley during summer time year is moderated by
its hill establishing and the extreme heat of lowland Pakistan does not reach
here. The hills also prevent out summer time year monsoon and summer year rain
fall is thus quite low. However, these hills result in very serious cold
environment. During the Apr to Oct vacationer year, temperature ranges differ
between a highest possible of 27 °C (81 °F) and a lowest (in October) 8 °C (46
°F). However, temperature ranges can fall to below -10 °C (50 °F)in the
December-to-January midwinter period

by two ways , by road or air. The
regular road path into Skardu valley is via the Karakorum Road and a linkroad into the
Skardu Area from it. There are also four or five other street hyperlinks to
Kashmir and Ladakh. On the other hand, there are normally one or two flight
tickets daily between Skardu Airport terminal and Islamabad. The heavy cost of
air journey means that roads journey via the Karakorum Road and the link road forward to the Skardu valley is often the
recommended option of residents and visitors as well.
The environment can have negative effects on transportation
in and out of the Skardu valley, as Skardu becomes snowbound during the winter
months year season. Often the streets in and out of Skardu (and other North
Places locations) can be blocked for weeks at some point based on circumstances
(though two to five times is more normal), sometimes making air journey as the
only possible alternative. However, air journey during the cold montsr
is also topic to interruption due to the not reliable Skardu environment and
flight tickets can sometimes be late by several days
