Itinerary description
|
Route in which starting from Skardu, we go up to Kharphocho Fort. It is the ruins of an ancient fortress located on top of a small mountain next to the city.
The fact that it is not circular is simply because we stopped the gps on the way down, not because of something else.
It does not have any kind of difficulty. It is a comfortable climb and the views of the city as well as the Indus River are truly impressive.
Highly recommended if you have a day in Skardu, as it is also useful to acclimatize for the Baltoro trek.
