<Skardu is a city in the Gilgit_Baltistan regi○n of Pakistan and is the capital ○f Skardu District• Skardu is 6 km {4 miles; 23 km wide and 14 miles wide. It is located in Skardu Valley at the confluence of Indus and Sugar rivers at an altitude of about 2,2500 m میٹر 82,020 feet. The city is an important gateway to the 8,000-strong Karakoram mountain range. The town is l○cated ○n the Indus River, which separates the Karakoram Range from the Himalayas.
The name "Scardo" is derived from the word balti, which means "a low land between two high places." The two referred to "high places" are the city of Sugar, and at height the Lake Star.
Skardu is first mentioned in the first half of the 16th century. Mirza Haider {1499–1551 Ask describes Asardo as a 16th century text of Tarikh-Rashdi Baltistan as one of the districts of the region. The first mention of Skardu in European literature was made by the Frenchman Francis Bernier {1625–1688 by who mentioned the city under the name of Skardu. Gone, and it was mentioned for the first time. Escardo Map "Indiana Orientals Ink Non Insulum Adencetim Nova Descriptive" by Dutch painter Nicholas Wescher II, published between 1680–1700.
Skardu Airport is located at an altitude of 2,230 meters {7,320 feet above sea level, while the mountain peaks around Skardu are 4,500–5,800 meters or 14,800–19,000 feet above sea level. Arrives at The streams above Skardu are the largest glaciers in the world, including the Baltoro Glacier, the Biafo Glacier, and the Chago Longma Glacier. Some of the surrounding glaciers are surrounded by some of the world's tallest mountains, including K2, the world's second highest mountain 8,611 meters {28,251 feet}, Gesherbrum 8,068 meters {26,470 feet}, And the mushroom is 7,821 meters at 25,659 feet. Dewasi National Park, the world's second highest plain alpine, is located along Skardu. The flow from Skardu is 8,126 meters (26,660 feet) on the Nanga Parbat mountain.
The Skardu Valley, located at the confluence of the Indus and Shigar rivers, is 10 km {6 miles long and 40 km wide {25 miles long. As a result of active erosion in the mountains of Qaraba Karakoram, a large amount of sediment has accumulated in the Skardu valley. Glaciers from the Indus and Shigar valleys extended the Skardu Valley 3.2 million years ago to the Holocene about 11,700 years ago.
Skardu has a semi-cold weather. During the summer, Skardu's climate is mild with its mountainous terrain. The intense heat of mainland Pakistan d○es n○t reach it• The mountains have stopped the summer monsoon, and thus there is very little rain in the summer. However, these mountains result in severe cold weather. During the April-October tourist season, temperatures range between a maximum of 27 ° C (81 ° F) and a minimum of 8 ° C (46 ° F) in October-October.
Temperatures can drop below 10 ° C (14 F) between December and mid-January. The lowest temperature recorded on January 7, 1995 was 24.1.1 C (11-F).
Skardu is located along the Kohistan-Ladakh, it was formed as a magnetic arch on a Titan subduction zone which was later adopted on the Eurasian plate. The region has less seismic activity than surrounding areas, suggesting that Skardu is located in a passive structural element of Himalayan force. The rock in the Skardu region is Katzara Assist, with a radiometric age of 37 to 105 million years.
Numerous complex granitic pegmatites and some alpine clift metamorphic deposits are found in the Shiger Valley and its suburbs. The main karokram thrust in the Shigar Valley consists of the separation of metaphyside-chlorite from the southern volcanic rocks of the Kohistan-Ladakh island.
The main road to Skardu is via Karakoram Highway and Skardu Road {S1 via to Skardu Valley. Roads once connected Skardu with Srinagar and Layyah, though no cross-LOC is open for travel.
Skardu's weather can have a negative impact on transportation in and out of the region, as Skardu often gets snow during the winter months. Roads inside and outside Skardu can be interrupted at intervals, sometimes leaving air travel as the only possible alternative.
There are daily direct flights from Islamabad to Skardu Airport. Winter air travel is disrupted due to unpredictable weather in winter.
