Hi everyone, I'm planning to travel around Gilgit Baltistan for the next few weeks (starting from Gilgit City this weekend). I'll be working remotely so I had a few questions about the electricity and the internet situation and I would greatly appreciate it if someone could answer them.

​

• What's the electricity situation like in Gilgit, Hunza, and Skardu? Can one expect 8-10 hours of electric supply each day?
• What's the internet like in major cities? Is the internet in hotels and cafes good enough to attend a few meetings each day? I'm also planning to get an SCOM SIM.
• Are there any must-visit places or hiking trails you can recommend, especially around Gilgit City?

How are the extreme june-july weather in Gilgit city? do you really need AC in these months?

Hi, I am planning a trip with my family to Skardu and Hunza and I don't find any straight answers to how to get around once there. Natco only has bus schedules and times for ISB/KHI <-> Skardu, ISB/KHI <-> Gilgit/Hunza but no information for travelling within GB. For example, where can I find the bus schedule and prices for Skardu to Gilgit and Gilgit to Hunza?

For hiring private vehicles, people are balking at giving us a straightforward per-day quote. What is the standard process for booking vehicles? Someone straight up told us that if you don't book us for the whole trip then we can't guarantee if the driver turns up or not. Why can't we just hire people to drive us from point A to point B with pre-agreement? Can someone please give me some pointers, I am very lost...

M29 here. I along with my 3 friends (three female) are planning to visit GB in the month of June. What are some tips that I need to know and some precautions that we need to have. Please let us know what kind of network is there as we would be working remote while traveling. We would need internet especially in the night where we can connect to our clients overseas. We have planned to visit Skardu, Hunza valley, Deosai National Park, Shigar etc. We might be staying there for 10-15 days. Also let us know a comfortable means of travel as we will be travelling from Karachi. TIA. Sorry for such a long post.

She (Falak Noor) should have cared for her father at least if not the society. What are your views regarding this?

Do you think this will be feasible for the NATCO? Or they have just gave in before the demand of GB people?

I know it’s impossible to know the weather conditions this far out but based on previous years what’s it like in early May?

Hi I am looking for house for rent in gilgit city. I will visit the city in 2 weeks and stay in hotel while searching for house.

any tips from where should I start?

I know that there are some very interesting languages like Balti and Burushaski from this region. I am thinking of documenting some rare languages in English and creating free learning materials for them. I am passionate about minority languages and I have personally tried to learn a few rare languages myself and been very frustrated at the lack of resources. As of now, I am just trying to talk to people and figure out how I would pull it off. Please contact me if you are interested in helping or have any ideas. Thank you!
