Questions About This Tour

Blossom in Baltistan usually runs the first three weeks of April, later than Hunza because of altitude and aspect. It shifts a week or so year to year with spring temperatures, so we confirm the best dates closer to the season rather than fixing them months out.
No, Deosai is under snow and closed in April. It opens around late June. If Deosai matters to you, our autumn or summer Skardu itineraries are the better fit.
