Baltistan Fort Skardu Resort

Baltistan Fort is a lovely, quaint, traditionally constructed with balti-style adobe and woodwork. Its a perfect blend of tradition and modern comfort. Location-wise the area is one of the best in Skardu; with 360 views of the mountains being my favorite part. The rooms with large windows, have unreal vistas of katpana and the mountains!
The Host, Rashid Sami, was incredibly hospitable and kind and catered to all the details very smoothly; not to mention his counterpart the beautiful, loving, friendly Himalayan cat was the perfect cozy addition and offered a home away from home feeling! Will definitely come and stay here again! inshAllah!

Excellent location in an historic restored old fort. It has wonderful views and is close to Skardu airport

I booked this hotel by looking at reviws which were NOT reality based, road to facility is dirt road with ditches up to 3 ft, i was greeted by construction workers, laundy was hanging outside, room itself is tight and old structure.I asked my driver to make a u turn and found a lot better hotel in the same price.I lost my trust on booking.com and ratings.
VIEW was ok with water heaters in the front building along with mountains and river valley.NOT A WELL MAINTAINED FACILITY

A cosy guesthouse with a beautiful view of the valley. We enjoyed the kitchen, Balti dishes were tasty. The peaceful view from the windows was very relaxing after the dusty Skardu.

I love the traditional construction style of the resort.

Our visit was spectacular. We stayed for two nights. The owner made it an unforgettable experience: he so kindly picked us up from the airport, made a wonderful 2 day travel itinerary for us, and shared lovely stories over tea. The rooms were clean, we had a lovely balcony, and absolutely gorgeous views!

The view is among one of the bests even better than Shangrilla resort. But what tops the view is the people. The owner is a super kind guy and makes you feel at home. It was supposed to be a random hotel stay but we left with a homely feeling. We definitely received more value than we paid for. Any problem we had was resolved on a moments notice, be it hotel related or even anything non hotel related like getting a sim etc.

Rashid bhai(owner) is one of the best hosts i have experienced till date. He went out of his way to make us feel at home and to give a traditional Baltistan experience. Complimentary services got to a point that we felt that we are not paying enough for the value we are getting. Rashid bhai has lived an interesting life, do not miss out on his cool stories.

The location, where you can see the desert, lake, river, glacier all in one place. The host himself is really helpful, the property is nice and has been creatively well thought of.

I had an amazing stay at Baltistan Fort Hotel. The staff truly went above and beyond to make my visit comfortable and memorable. From check-in to check-out, they were warm, professional, and always ready to help with anything I needed.

The hotel beautifully combines traditional Balti architecture with modern comfort. My room was spotless, spacious, and offered incredible views of the surrounding mountains — waking up to that scenery was unforgettable.

The location is perfect for exploring Skardu and nearby attractions. Whether it was arranging transport or offering local tips, the staff made everything easy and stress-free. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the region.

Amazing location for humans seeking peace and nature.
Baltistan Fort , Skardu is situated amongst the Himaliyas, Karakorum mountain range and River Indus..
Cooperative staff, traditional rooms, reasonable Wifi, perfect blend of Italian tiles and local stone with imported bathroom fixtures.. could not have wished for more.
Will come back soon.

The location, scenic view, the staff hospitality of Baltistan Fort, Skardu and most important the host Mr Rashid Sami cooperation for made our stay comfortable.
Enjoying our breakfast and dinner just right in front of the mountains and the River Indus was an unforgettable experience and yes how can we forget the "star gazing" from the rooftop.
