The Yak Motel sits on Main Hameed Garh Road, directly opposite the PTDC Motel, putting it in a well-known and easy-to-find pocket of Skardu. This is the more premium end of the local range, with rooms priced from PKR 9,000 to PKR 14,500 per day, and the amenities reflect that. Air conditioning is a rare touch this high in the mountains and a welcome one on warmer days, while geysers handle hot water when the temperature swings the other way. Rooms arrive fully made up with beds and mattresses, and each has its own attached bathroom, so there's no sharing and no compromise. Wi-Fi keeps you online, and there's parking on site for anyone arriving by car or hired jeep. The overall feel is that of a comfortable, properly appointed stay rather than a bare-bones stopover, aimed at guests who'd rather not skimp after a long haul up to Skardu. If you want a room that ticks every box and a landmark address that's simple to direct a driver to, The Yak Motel makes a strong case.
