Basho is a beautiful and picturesque valley in Skardu city at a distance of about one and half hour drive from the main city. The valley is covered by the lush evergreen forest of pine, juniper, and others species of trees, pastures, and gushing, gurgling and trickling streams which make it a part of heaven. The top of the peaks remains covered by snow even in the summer.

If you have visited Skardu city then this place should be on the list of must-see places because it is near the city and you can enjoy the scenic beauty of the Himalayan and Karakoram peaks at one spot.

The Basho valley itself is on the Himalayan side and the towering rocky mountains across the Indus River are the Karakoram mountain ranges.
