About This Tour

Naltar Valley, managed by the Pakistan Air Force and located at 3,100m in Gilgit-Baltistan, is Pakistan's highest ski destination and arguably its most beautiful. The valley is famous year-round for its three extraordinary coloured lakes (Satrangi, Blue, and White), but in winter transforms into a powder skiing paradise. The slopes are well-maintained, the snow quality is exceptional, and the Karakoram backdrop — with peaks including Rakaposhi and Diran visible from the upper runs — is unlike any ski resort in the world. The Pakistan Army Winter Sports competitions are held here annually, testament to the quality of terrain. This package combines skiing with helicopter access options to the upper slopes and a summer-season extension to see the famous lakes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Naltar compare to Malam Jabba?

Naltar is higher (3,100m vs 2,804m), has better snow quality, less crowded, and offers a more dramatic Karakoram backdrop. It is more remote and requires flying or driving to Gilgit. For serious skiers wanting powder and Karakoram scenery, Naltar is superior. For families wanting easier access, Malam Jabba is more convenient.
