The Katpana Desert, also known as the Cold Desert, is a high-altitude desert located in Skardu Valley, Pakistan. It's got some pretty cool sand dunes that sometimes get covered in snow during winter. Situated at 2,226 meters above sea level, it's one of the highest deserts in the world. Tourists love checking out the part near Katpana Lake close to Skardu Airport. So, if you're into unique desert landscapes with a snowy twist, this place might just be your jam!
