From the mountains of Skardu
Skardu sits at the gateway to the Karakoram. Here is why the region is a source of both shilajit and remarkable minerals.
Skardu lies in the Indus valley in Gilgit-Baltistan, northern Pakistan, surrounded by some of the highest peaks on earth, among them K2 and the Baltoro glaciers.
The same geology that raised these mountains created the conditions for gem-bearing pegmatites. The region is known among collectors for aquamarine, tourmaline, topaz and garnet.
High, sun-exposed rock faces are also where shilajit is found. It is collected during the warmer months when it becomes accessible.
Skardu House was started to share the materials of this landscape with people far beyond it, honestly described and carefully packed.
