Tous les transports terrestres prévus dans l'itinéraire
Les vols intérieurs et les transferts aéroportuaires associés.
L'aéroport de Skardu dépend des conditions météorologiques. Comme de hautes montagnes entourent la vallée, les avions n'y atterrissent que lorsque la visibilité est bonne. La plupart du temps, les avions volent, mais des annulations peuvent se produire, et dans ces circonstances, nous voyagerons par la route.
