Shangrila was
established in 1983 with the opening of the first Resort Hotel in Skardu, Baltistan.It was named”HEAVEN ON EARTH” because of its
spectacular beauty,and breathtaking view and peaceful atmosphere.
Shangrila Resort Hotel was founded by the late Brig.(Retd) Muhammad
Aslam Khan, the first commander of the Northern Scouts who liberated the
Northern areas in 1948. Shangrila was named after a book titled “LOST
HORIZON” by James Hilton. In the book, the author narrates a fictious
tale in which an aeroplane crash landed near a riverbed, in the early
1920’s. The surviving passengers came across some Buddhist monks from a
nearby temple and sought their help. They were taken to a beautiful
lamasery filled with a variety of fruits and flowers. The monks looked
quite young, although they claimed to be hundreds of years old. The
idyllic place was called Shangrila ,a Chinese word meaning ” HEAVEN ON
EARTH”.
