Re: honeymoon in pakistan
I've heard loads about Skardu - looking at the pics, it seems so stunning with the tall mountains and valleys. Shagrila is supposed to be the better of the two hotels and going by travelling articles, there business has been hit pretty badly with the unrest in the swat region, even though Swat and Skardu are miles and miles apart. You have to remember Skardu is really remote and all is quiet from what I understand. I reckon you could even get a great deal with Shangri La considering the limited number of tourists travelling to that region!
I rememeber my dad was able to negotiate with them, because they thought we had lost interest in coming - they practically called us on more than one occasion to ask if we were coming?
The last time I went to Murree/Bhurban was back in 1996, and even then it was really commercialised and extremely busy (Peak summer season I guess), but in terms of beauty there is no comparison - Skardu definitely!
