We stayed 6 days in late April 2013 at Shigar Fort Residence in Shigar Valley 35 km from Skardu. The careful restoration of the old fort with the dark old wood carving, beams and timbers, 400 year old stone work, historical pieces and museum, and the lovely cherry garden and peaceful grounds set a magical tone.
