 IMPORTANT NOTE

There are some important things to keep in mind. Loving the mountains is as
easy as it gets, but surviving here is equally challenging. Traveling towards the
mountains is like leaving behind the comfort of your home. Challenging yourself
and stepping out of your comfort zone for a trip isn't easy. Here, you'll
encounter electricity and signal issues. Access to the internet facilities will also
be scarce. Hot water will only be available in the morning. These are temporary
difficulties that will pass, but don't let them ruin your seven days. You'll find all
these luxuries and comforts back in the city when you return. But what you
won't find is the tranquility of the mountains. You won't get to see these
beautiful natural landscapes in the city.

Also, keep in mind that the plan provided may change according to the
situation. If necessary, even changing the hotel may be required. No one can
predict what might happen when in the mountains, so mentally prepare
yourself to handle any situation. We'll be going as a family for seven days. You
can make this time beautiful yourself. It doesn't matter where we reach or how
we travel; what matters is how we spend this time with others. If people are
good, every passing moment feels beautiful. From my side, I can guarantee that
Skardu is extremely beautiful, and these seven days will be the most beautiful
days of your life.
