KING OF GAMES AND GAME OF KINGS

Before planning you trip to Skardu specially, do let us know in comment or anyone in circle who have access to anyone in Skardu, do ask him about the polo tournament date. In summer atleast 3-4 polo events happens in Baltistan regions only on different venues; Skardu Shahi Polo Ground, Yabgo Polo Ground Khaplu and Shigar Polo Ground. Better to visit in between any of the event, so make your trip more worthful. If you never been in any polo game before, this will be an amazing opportunity to witness a much worthy show, full pack spectators, polo players having heroic welcome in the ground in every game. During game if the playing stick slip from any of the players hand, volunteers from the public risking their lives to just keep the game equaling going.
