Hi Fahed,
I didn't go to Skardu because Hunza and Skardu are both very far from each other and I had fewer days + limited budget.
15 days are very few to explore all these 3 places, because there are many spots to visit and much of time is taken by traveling.
Also the road condition is not very good. The Karakoram Highway is being redone from Besham to Khunjerab Pass and road is frequently closed because of work in progress. Thats why it took us 30 hours to reach Hunza from Rawalpindi (which is no more than 16 hours journey if road is good). However, as people told me.. The Skardu Road (From Juglot to Skardu) is in good shape.. So its a better idea to visit just Skardu this year and visit all its spots as mentioned by musafirat in earlier post.
You can reach Skardu by catching NATCO Express Bus (Run by Govt of Pakistan) from Rawalpindi Pir Wadhai bus station. Other private coaches and coasters are also available but I found NATCO very comfortable. The fare is around 1300 Rupees per head. Be sure to get the front seats (before no.15) because that way your journey would be more comfortable.
I'm not sure about Hotel rates in Skardu because I didn't go there but if it is same like Hunza then you can get a simple hotel room for 1000 to 1500 Rupees.
You can make Skardu town as your base and from there you can hire Jeep on daily basis to visit different spots. The price will differ to every spot.
P.s. Don't forget to take a map of Northern Areas with you as it really helps you. I bought a map tited as "Karakoram Highway Map-3" (Researched and Prepared by Prof. Manzoom Ali), which is really good and it shows Northern Areas in full detail.
Happy journey
