Autumn is a time, when the landscape of Baltistan looks like a painting, the trees throughout the valley seem to be on fire as their leaves turn gold, red orange and bronze, contrasting sharply with the barren mountains, their tops covered with snow and emerald green waters of the river snaking through the valley, it is a photographic dream come true. Beginning the journey from Skardu on four-wheel drive jeeps, you will pass through the beautiful valleys of Shiger, Khaplu and Hushe. During the day, trek and visit local villages to study and observe the lifestyle of the Balti people.
