Shigar Fort Skardu

Shighar fort skardu

Skardu is a beautiful city located in Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. There are several forts in the Skardu region, but I believe the one you are referring to is the Shigar Fort.

Shigar Fort, also known as Fong-Khar, is a 17th-century fort located in the town of Shigar, which is about 23 kilometers away from Skardu city. The fort was restored and converted into a heritage hotel in the 1990s. It is now a popular tourist attraction in the area, offering visitors a glimpse into the region's rich cultural and historical heritage

The fort is a fine example of Balti architecture, featuring intricate wood carvings, mud-plastered walls, and wooden balconies. The interior of the fort has been tastefully decorated with traditional Balti and Tibetan furniture, handicrafts, and paintings. Visitors can stay at the heritage hotel and enjoy the panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, visit the nearby Shigar Valley, or take a trek to the famous K2 Base Camp.
