Skardu is the capital of Baltistan and the base camp for some of the world’s highest mountains — including K2, Broad Peak, and Gasherbrum.

Rent a Car PKD provides professional Rent a Car Skardu service with experienced high-altitude drivers, 4×4 vehicles suitable for Baltistan’s mountain roads, and transparent pricing for tourists, trekkers, expedition teams, and business travelers in Skardu and surrounding areas.
Why Skardu Needs Specialist Car Rental
- Skardu sits at over 2,200 meters elevation — roads to Shigar, Khaplu, Deosai, and K2 base camp involve extreme mountain terrain requiring 4×4 vehicles and experienced drivers
- Skardu Airport operates limited flights that are heavily weather-dependent — ground transport flexibility is essential when flights are cancelled
- The Skardu-Gilgit road (250 km) involves mountain passes and narrow sections requiring local driver knowledge of current road conditions
- Deosai National Park at 4,114 meters is accessible only by 4×4 vehicles — standard cars cannot make the journey
- K2 and Concordia trekking expeditions require transport to Askole village — the last road point before the trek begins
