High in the heart of Gilgit-Baltistan lies the Katpana Desert, one of the world’s highest cold deserts, where golden dunes rise dramatically against a backdrop of snow-capped peaks. Located just outside Skardu city at an altitude of over 7,000 feet, this surreal landscape defies expectations — icy winds sweep through rippling sand, and crystal-clear skies reveal brilliant stars at night. The desert’s unique mix of arid beauty and alpine altitude makes it a popular destination for camping, glamping, jeep safaris, and stargazing. Whether at sunrise or under the Milky Way, Katpana offers a rare blend of stillness, contrast, and raw natural wonder.
