Facilities
Naltar is the oldest ski resort in Pakistan, however is relatively less known and less developed than Malam Jabba ski resort. The major obstacle to Naltar’s development has been the dilapidated condition of the road leading from Gilgit to Naltar. As things stand, the one-hour journey to Naltar is near impossible unless ski enthusiasts travel there by 4 wheel jeep. In 2015, a chairlift was constructed and work on rebuilding the Gilgit-Naltar Road has been proposed.
