What should I pack for Gilgit?
Layers, always: strong sun at altitude means warm afternoons even when air temperatures read cold, and clear nights dump heat fast. Summer needs a fleece and shell for evenings; shoulder seasons add insulated layers; winter demands genuine cold-weather kit (our winter departures include it). Sunscreen and sunglasses are non-negotiable at every season — UV at 1,500 m is fierce.
