Lahore to Gilgit Skardu and Hunza by road

Lahore to Islamabad 

The best way to reach Gilgit-Baltistan from Lahore is via by air, for which one has to reach Islamabad because there is no flight which operates directly between Lahore, Gilgit, and Skardu. 

To reach there by road is the same i.e first one has to reach in Islamabad or Rawalpindi from here there are dozens of transport agencies of best qualities including NATCO Daewoo buses.

Normally it takes 4  and half hour to reach Islamabad from Lahore. After reaching there, one can reserve the seat for Gilgit, Skardu, and Hunza which are the main hub of tourists. The main reservation office of the NATCO is at the Pirwadhai bus stand but it has a reservation office at the I-11/4 Faqir Aipee road in Islamabad too. One can reserve the seats from both of these offices and buses operate from both terminals to Gilgit-Baltistan. 

Other transport agencies have their reservation offices at the general bus stand Pirwidhai, the list of them is given at the end of this page.

Islamabad to Gilgit, Skardu and Hunza

By road journey from Islamabad or Rawalpindi to Gilgit and Skardu is one of the adventurous and enjoyable journeys of the world, because departing from Islamabad to Skardu or Gilgit the vehicles pass from scenic wonderlands and panoramic valleys i.e almost all the beautiful places of the KPK. There are two routes to reach Gilgit-Baltistan from Islamabad or Rawalpindi. One is directly through KKH (Karakorum Highway) which is named as N35. If you follow this route you will see the beautiful places of KPK like Mansehra, Abbottabad, Batgram, Chtarplane, Patan and Bisham etc.

Another way is same from Islamabad to Mansehra city of KPK but from here it follows the national highway named as N15. If you follow this route that also meets to KKH at Chilas District of Gilgit-Baltistan, you will see the most beautiful places of Pakistan i.e. Naran,Kaghan valley and Babusar Top of Gilgit-Baltistan. You can see the map below to understand the route better.

You will never forget the journey and will be proud of it which you have made through worlds highest road network, KKH (Karakoram Highway) passing through worlds three mightiest ranges of mountains (The Himalayas emerging from India and Nepal, the Karakorum from north Pakistan and Hindukush from Afghanistan).

Departing from Islamabad or Rawalpindi the more you cover the distance the more you will be going higher and higher towards the land of Peaks.   

It takes about 4 or four and half hours to reach Mansehra and vehicle, whatever you have chosen, will make a stop for tea or meal depending upon the time of departure. After that, passing through green carpeted lands of KPK you will reach the Besham City. Here the vehicles will make a stop for meal or tea.  From here the KKH will be following every twist and turn of the Indus River. Now passing through Kohistan, the last district of KPK, you will be hugged by the Peaks of Gilgit-Baltistan. Entering the Diamer District you will reach at district headquarter, Chilas. Mostly the vehicles depart late noon, in that case, you will be in Chilas for breakfast but if you have left Islamabad before noon you will be at Jougloat for breakfast. After departing from here you will reach a junction separating ways of Gilgit and Skardu. 

If you are going to Gilgit it will take about a half an hour to reach Gilgit city from this junction. But if you are determined to go to Skardu you will have to cover 200 km more. It will take about four to five hours to reach Skardu. On the way towards Skardu, the vehicle will make a stop for lunch at  PTDC motel Stak Valley which will be the last tea or meal.  Now, after 2 and half hours, you will reach Skardu city and will be enjoying the beautiful weather and places of Skardu.
