Pilgrimage Glossary
Umrah & Hajj — Quick Reference
What is Umrah?
Umrah is a non-mandatory Islamic pilgrimage to Makkah, Saudi Arabia, that can be performed at any time of the year. Pilgrims enter ihram (a sacred state), perform tawaf (circumambulation) around the Kaaba inside Masjid al-Haram, complete sa'i (walking) between the hills of Safa and Marwa, and shave or trim the hair. From Skardu, the standard Umrah trip lasts 10-14 days including travel and time in Madinah.
What is Hajj?
Hajj is the obligatory pilgrimage that every able Muslim must perform once in their lifetime. It takes place on specific days of the Islamic month of Dhu'l-Hijjah, with Hajj 2027 expected on 14 May–19 May 2027. From Skardu, Hajj packages typically run 25-40 days and include all rites at Makkah, Mina, Arafat, and Muzdalifah, plus time in Madinah at Masjid an-Nabawi.

One named Regional Representative — Haiwad Ahmad — handles your entire booking. No call centres, no handoffs. Transparent pricing, flights from Skardu International Airport (KDU), hotels selected for proximity to the Haram, and direct WhatsApp support before, during, and after your trip.
Traveller's Guide
Umrah, Hajj & Travel from Skardu
Umrah & Hajj from Skardu
Skardu is the main hub of Baltistan and a well-known gateway to the Karakoram's highest peaks, with a growing local population alongside its role as a tourism centre. Al Bari Travel & Tours arranges Umrah and Hajj packages for pilgrims from Skardu, managing visas and flight bookings entirely by phone and WhatsApp, whether you're departing yourself or booking on behalf of family members.
Flying to Saudi Arabia from Skardu
Skardu International Airport serves the town with domestic flights, but these remain weather-dependent and the airport is not used for direct international Umrah or Hajj departures. Pilgrims from Skardu typically travel to Islamabad to catch their international flight, and Al Bari plans this connection with the airport's weather patterns in mind, building in a sensible buffer between flights so a delay in Skardu doesn't jeopardize the international leg.
