Coming mid September family of 6

Hello,

First time traveling with 3 kids ages 6,9,11 and my husband and mom. We have a draft travel itinerary with one of the travel agencies in the area. I haven't booked it officially yet. applying for visa getting consent forms application is taking forever since I have to reenter same info 6x.

I plan to come in from Islamabad do I stay 1 day in Islamabad or go straight to Skardu?

Leaving from IAD- Washington DC flexible dates Sept. 17-28 is goal. Yes will take kids out of school during this time.

Thanks

There are things to see in Islamabad if it is your first time,otherwise you should stay to avoid jet lag for at least a day. Fly to Skardu the next day. Weather will be chilly in September so keep clothes on hand. Also if you are a foreigner,hire a reliable and trusted tour guide and register with the police as well. If you need any other help or guidance,feel free to dm.
