The Magical Wonderland of Shangrila Resort and Kachura
When winter arrives in the northern mountains of Pakistan, Skardu turns into a fairytale kingdom of snow-covered peaks, frozen lakes, and peaceful landscapes, none more breathtaking than the iconic Shangrila Resort and Upper and Lower Kachura. Nestled deep in the heart of Baltistan, Shangrila becomes a picture-perfect winter retreat that captivates every traveler who dreams of experiencing snowfall surrounded by nature’s silence and serenity.
Shangrila Resort: The “Heaven on Earth” Wrapped in Snow
Shangrila, famously known as “Heaven on Earth”, rests around a mesmerizing heart-shaped lake. While it is beautiful throughout the year, winter brings a special charm. As snow gently covers the lush green gardens, wooden huts, and cherry trees, the resort becomes a postcard scene straight out of a European winter village.
The frozen lake, the mist hovering over the valley, and the crisp winter air create an atmosphere unlike any other in Pakistan. Whether you’re a photographer, an adventure seeker, or a peace lover, Shangrila in winter offers a naturally magical escape.
Kachura Valley: Where Snow Meets Crystal Blue Water
Just a short drive from Shangrila lies Upper and Lower Kachura, a valley famous for its emerald-blue lakes and panoramic mountain views. In winter, the snow-kissed trails and frozen patches of the lake produce stunning visuals that words cannot fully describe.
The contrast of icy white snow with the sparkling turquoise water creates a breathtaking scene, perfect for winter photography, nature walks, boating (when not frozen), and capturing one-of-a-kind drone shots.
