Chunda Valley

Perched high above Skardu city, Chunda Valley is often called the “Balcony of Baltistan” for its breathtaking panoramic views of the Skardu plains, Indus River, and the surrounding mountain ranges. The valley is known for its lush green meadows, colorful orchards, and a peaceful rural charm that makes it one of the most scenic spots in Baltistan.

During spring and summer, Chunda bursts into life with blooming apricot, apple, and cherry trees, while autumn paints the valley in shades of gold and crimson. Its pleasant weather, fertile terraces, and traditional stone houses make it an ideal destination for those seeking nature, culture, and serenity in one place.


From Chunda, travelers can enjoy wide views of Skardu city, Kharpocho Fort, and Sarfaranga Desert, making it a favorite spot for photographers and sunset lovers. The valley also offers opportunities for light trekking, village walks, and cultural interaction with friendly Balti locals.
A short drive from Skardu, Chunda Valley is a must-visit viewpoint that combines scenic beauty with a genuine taste of Baltistan’s countryside life.
