Skardu is most cheapest mesmerizing place in the world to
tour around. It serves as a mountain range straddles the border of Northern
Pakistan and Kashmir in Pakistan -administered territory. This region is
located on the upper Indus River Valley. Skardu's elevation can be as high as
8,202 feet and it serves as a gateway to the 8,000-feet mark of the heathered
mountain range. Skardu is a major gateway to the Karakoram mountain range to
the WEST of Skardu.
The Indus River, which flows across the area, divides the
Himalayas from the Karakoram. The Kohistan-Ladakh terrane, which eventually
accreted onto the Eurasian Plate and was developed as a magmatic arch above a
Tethyan subduction zone, is where Skardu is situated. Given the area's low
seismic activity in comparison to its surroundings, Skardu may be situated in a
passive structural component of the Himalayan push. Katzara schist, which has a
radiometric age of 37 to 105 million years, is the rock found in the Skardu
area. The Shigar Valley and its tributaries are home to numerous intricate
granitic pegmatites and a few alpine-cleft metamorphic deposits. The Main
Karokoram Thrust, which separates the southern volcanoclastic rocks of the
Kohistan-Ladakh island arc from the metasediments on the Asian plate, is
located in Shigar Valley.
