Nestled in the heart of Pakistan’s northernmost region lies Gilgit Baltistan, a land of diversity and contrast. Divided into three distinct regions – Baltistan, Gilgit, and Diamer – each area is a world unto itself. In Baltistan, Skardu reigns supreme as its capital, where the air is thick with the sound of the melodious Balti language. Meanwhile, Diamer remains a mystery, shrouded in an air of unexplored enigma, where the Shina language dominates and Chilas stands as its capital. The Gilgit region, on the other hand, is a melting pot of cultures and languages, with Gilgit city at its helm and Shina, Burushaki, Wakhi, and Khowar spoken in its streets. Gilgit Baltistan is a destination of endless discovery and an open invitation to uncover the secrets of the north.
