DESCRIPTION

The site faces NE but seems to have plenty of anabatic flow during the afternoon. Access Skardu is about 24 hrs by bus from Islamabad or a 1hr flight (9000 rupees for foreigners) Rules This site overlooks the airport and the military base and you should contact both before flying there. The control tower will be fine with afternoon flights since there is only usually one flight in the morning. The military may request you not to take photographs but are not that interested.

WEATHER

Watch out for strong valley winds after 4pm
