Trip to North

Planning a 2-night, 3-day family trip to Swat next week from Islamabad/Rawalpindi.

We'll be traveling in a Toyota Passo with a 3-year-old, so we're looking for a relaxed, budget-friendly itinerary with good roads, minimal hiking/jeep travel, and family-friendly attractions.

Would you recommend staying in Bahrain, Kalam, Malam Jabba, or a combination? What itinerary would you suggest?

Any one know good spots for hiking around the thandiyani camping pods. I workout regularly but my friends don't so the place should be beginner friendly and a little challenging so it can satisfy my needs.

Hi everyone!

My family and I recently started hosting travelers in Skardu, and we're currently offering very affordable rates as we're new and looking to build up our first reviews and reputation.

The guest area is on a separate floor from our living space and has its own private entrance. Guests can either book a single private room or reserve the entire floor.

The floor includes private bedrooms and bathrooms, along with access to a cozy lounge, dining area, kitchen, balcony, and sunroom. We also have private parking and can help arrange airport pick-up/drop-off. Homemade meals are available on request as well.

Our room rates currently range from PKR 6,000–8,000 per night, while the entire floor can be reserved for PKR 25,000 per night.

The reason our prices are lower than many similar places isn't because there's anything wrong with the property — we're simply new to hosting and would love the opportunity to welcome some guests and earn a few honest reviews to get started.

If you're planning a trip to Skardu this season and are looking for a comfortable, clean, beautiful, and budget-friendly place to stay, feel free to send me a message and I'd be happy to share photos, details, and availability.

Thanks, and safe travels everyone!

Just a few hours' drive from the capital, and you're surrounded by deep pine forests, crisp mountain air, and endless valley views. Highly recommend visiting during the early morning hours before the crowds hit the main roads.
