7 Days Skardu & Deosai Private Family Tour
7 days / 6 nightsIslamabad – Chilas – Skardu – Shigar – Khaplu – Deosai – Chilas – IslamabadJune to SeptemberModerateMax altitude 4,114 m at Sheosar Lake
The same Skardu route in your own vehicle, paced for children and elders.
Overview
The same Skardu itinerary in your own Grand Cabin or Prado, on your own dates, with the days rearranged around your family rather than a fixed schedule. Later starts, more stops, and family rooms booked in advance.
The price shown is for a family of four in one vehicle with family rooms. Larger groups and different vehicle classes are quoted individually — send us your numbers and dates and you will have a written itinerary and price the same day.
One honest note about Deosai with children and elders: it is eight hours in a jeep above 4,000 m. We will tell you if we think your group should skip it and spend the day in Shigar instead.
Trip highlights
- Your own vehicle and driver for seven days
- Family and connecting rooms booked in advance
- Deosai plateau and Sheosar Lake, at your pace
- Shangrila, Upper Kachura and the Katpana desert
- Shigar Fort and Khaplu Palace
- Shorter driving days than the group itinerary

Frequently asked questions
What does PKR 285,000 cover?
A family of four in one private vehicle: seven days of transport with a driver, six nights in family rooms, all breakfasts and dinners, the Deosai jeep, all entry tickets and a guide in Skardu. Lunches and personal spending are excluded.
Is Deosai safe for my parents?
It is eight hours in a jeep above 4,000 m. Most people in reasonable health are fine, but anyone with a heart or breathing condition should not do it. Because this is a private trip we can decide on the morning and substitute a rest day.
Can we fly one way?
Yes, and for families it is often worth it — fly Islamabad to Skardu and drive back, which removes one twelve-hour day. It is weather-dependent, so we build the road plan as the fallback.
How is child pricing handled?
The family price covers two adults and two children. Additional children are quoted individually; under-3s travel free. Tell us the ages at enquiry.
How quickly can you confirm?
Send dates and group size and you will have a written itinerary with a price the same day, usually within a few hours.
