Sarfranga Cold Desert (Skardu)
It was a particularly beautiful morning, visiting these rare wonders of the world “sand dunes surrounded by snowy alpine peaks.” Even for these well-traveled people, who had already seen various deserts around the world, this was a rare sight indeed.
Off in the distance we could see Hussain Abad Village.
Climbing the highest dune, we could enjoy a 360°view of the high alpine peaks all around us.
