Lavender Cottage and Guest House

Extremely hospitable hosts. The garden is gorgeous; the overall aesthetics of the place are unmatched in Skardu. The location is perfect...in a quiet side street in the middle of the city.

I stayed in this hotel for 3 nights and loved my room, it was pleasant, spacious and clean. Location of the hotel is very good, not far from Skardu airport. Staff are very friendly. Ameer and his family made me feel at home. They were always very kind and helpful, they would go out of their way to help. Whenever I required transport Ameer would help, advise and arrange. I was picked from and dropped off to Skardu airport. The breakfast was served whenever I asked and was delicious.

Lavender Cottages was like living in a fairy tale with all the beautiful flowers, wood scrollwork and architecture. The people there were so friendly and helpful. It is such a delightful, relaxing place with restaurants in easy walking’s distance. It is the perfect location to explore Khaplu Palace Fort, the Katpana cold desert and Upper Kachura Lake. At the end of a day of sight seeing, don’t miss an authentic Pakistani BBQ dinner at Lavender Cottages! If you are more adventurous, the proprietor spent decades doing the big treks to Pakistan’s biggest mountains and has even published a coffee table book with outstanding photography! We will definitely stay at Lavender Cottages on a return trip to Skardu to tackle the Concordia Trek!
