When travelling in the land of Shangri-La, the Shigar Fort Residence stands out as a modern, full-amenity hotel that pays homage to the incredible history and culture of its surrounds. Step outside this former palace and behold the legendary route to the Himalaya’s second highest peak, K-2. No expense was spared by the Aga Khan Cultural Service Pakistan in restoring and extending the original site, known as Fong-Khar, or “Palace of the Rock”. The Service is part of the Aga Khan Development Network, an organization well known for its faithful restorations.
