Questions About This Tour
PIA occasionally operates seasonal direct flights, but availability is limited. We typically route via Islamabad for the most reliable scheduling, and will use a direct flight if one is available on your dates.
Karachi has the longest connection time of any departure city, so we add an extra day to ensure you have full value in Skardu despite the longer total travel time.
