Hi, Great tips on Skardu, and have a great day on your birthday. Amir
You're right about the people - very friendly! Nice job!
Just swung by your Skardu Page again! The sneaky PIA pic at the airport is great. Isn't that flight the most "breathtaking" thing...in every sense of the word (the landing is just as breathtaking :o)
Enjoyed Balti101
