North Ride: A Simple, Transparent Way to Book Rides to the North

North Ride was built to sit between those two options. WHAT NORTH RIDE COVERS Rides are available in both directions between the twin cities and the north: - Islamabad to Skardu, and Skardu to Islamabad - Rawalpindi to Skardu, and Skardu to Rawalpindi - Islamabad to Gilgit, and Gilgit to Islamabad - Rawalpindi to Gilgit, and Gilgit to Rawalpindi You can book a full private car, or a single shared seat if you're travelling alone or as a smaller group and want to split the cost.
