On our first day in Skardu we decided to explore "Soq valley". It is one of the most scenic valleys in Skardu, located in upper Kachura side. Though it's no more a hidden place in Skardu. Most of travelers do know about this place. Taking a straight road from Shangrila resort to upper Kachura lake and then the road diverts. The straight ones leads to Upper Kachura lake while the other turn left towards Soq valley. It's somehow a trek type for which 4x4 vehicles suitable. Our driver told us that a road will be soon constructed here that will further leads to Nagar Hunza and onwards to china border. This will be the easiest and short cut route to join Skardu and Hunza. Travelers would no longer be required to use the Skardu Gilgit road.
