Profit
Is an Airbnb in Skardu Tehsil Profitable?
Yes, as extra income from a home or room you already have. The average Skardu Tehsil Airbnb took in Rs 759,781 in the 12 months to April 2025, counting listings open only part of the year, and a listing in the top quarter, run by its owner at everyday costs, keeps about Rs 90,900 a month after running costs.

- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge Rs 13,300 a night or more, against a median of Rs 7,400.

- Open for the busy months. November brought the average listing about Rs 838,000, against Rs 111,000 in April, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
