Gilgit - Skardu Road is a spectacular and dangerous mountain road located in Gilgit–Baltistan, Pakistan. The road is 167km long. <br /> <br />The road starts off the Karakoram Highway, in Gilgit, the capital of Gilgit-Baltistan within the namesake district, at an elevation of 1,500 m (4,900 ft) above the sea level. <br />The road is paved but includes gravel sections. It goes along the River Indus. It’s an all-weather road. The road is winding, in some places only wide enough for one vehicle, and in many places bordered by a drop of hundreds of meters (many hundreds of feet) unprotected by guardrails. <br />The travel is around 8 hours. The roads can be blocked for weeks at a time depending on conditions (though two to five days is more normal).
