Prayer Times in Skardu, Pakistan
Prayer times in Skardu are worked out each day from the city's coordinates (35.30°N). We use the Karachi method, the one followed across Pakistan. The five times shift by a minute or two each day as the sun moves. The full month is listed below.
Skardu's times use the Karachi method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Pakistan. They are drawn from Skardu's own coordinates (35.2979°N, 75.6337°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.
How Skardu's prayer times are worked out
From Skardu, the Qibla is 256° from true north. Face west to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 3,801 km (2,362 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Skardu's own coordinates (35.30°N, 75.63°E), not a national average. That is why Skardu's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.
Day length is what moves the Skardu timetable through the year. With the Karachi method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 16h 21m around June. It eases to 11h 18m by December. That is a 5h 03m swing, set by the city's latitude of 35.30°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.
The Fajr and Isha angles for Skardu come from the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi. The Karachi method sets Fajr when the sun is 18° below the horizon, and Isha at 18°. Use ISNA's 15° instead and Fajr here would move by several minutes. So the method — not the coordinates alone — settles the final time. Skardu sits west of its Karachi meridian. The sun peaks about 6 minutes after noon, so Dhuhr today is 11:43 AM. We also publish times for nearby Gilgit, Sopur and Srinagar. Each is only a few minutes off Skardu's clock.

Two Asr times are in use in Pakistan
Most Pakistani mosques follow the Hanafi reckoning of Asr. It begins when an object's shadow reaches twice its length, roughly 75 minutes later than the standard reckoning. The time shown above for Skardu is the standard reckoning — 2:45 PM. The Hanafi time today is 3:31 PM. Follow whichever your mosque announces; you can make Hanafi the default in the settings above.
Who sets prayer times in Pakistan
Pakistan has no single body that issues one national prayer timetable. Mosques and provincial Auqaf departments publish their own. What is standardised is the calculation. The University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi method (Fajr 18°, Isha 18°) is the de facto basis for timetables across the country. It is what this page uses. The state religious body is the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Interfaith Harmony. The Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee rules on the moon sighting that begins Ramadan and Eid. It was established in 1974 and is assisted by Pakistan Meteorological Department observatories. So those dates are declared by sighting rather than by calendar.
Mosques and the Asr question
Pakistan's landmark mosques start with the Faisal Mosque in Islamabad. It was completed in 1986 to a design by the Turkish architect Vedat Dalokay. It was the largest mosque in the world from 1986 until 1993, when Casablanca's Hassan II Mosque overtook it. Lahore's Badshahi Mosque was completed in 1673 under Aurangzeb; its courtyard can hold tens of thousands as an Idgah. Because Pakistan is overwhelmingly Hanafi, your local mosque almost certainly calls Asr on the second-shadow rule. This page shows the standard (Shafi) Asr by default, with the Hanafi Asr alongside it. Follow whichever your mosque announces. You can also switch the madhab in the settings above to make Hanafi the default.

That is the congregation, called a few minutes after each prayer starts.

Skardu Prayer Times — FAQ
What direction is Qibla from Skardu?
The Qibla direction from Skardu, Pakistan is 256° from true north. Face west toward Mecca, Saudi Arabia, which lies 3,801 km (2,362 miles) away.
How long is the fast in Skardu?
The longest daily fast in Skardu is about 16h 21m, around June. The shortest is about 11h 18m, in December. That is a swing of 5h 03m across the year, set by the city's latitude of 35.30°N. Both are measured from Fajr to Maghrib with the Karachi method.
Why is the Asr time here different from my local mosque in Pakistan?
Because of the madhab. The standard (Shafi/Maliki/Hanbali) reckoning starts Asr when an object's shadow equals its own length. The Hanafi reckoning waits until the shadow is twice the object's length, about 75 minutes later. Most Pakistani mosques follow the Hanafi time. This page shows both, and you can set Hanafi as your default in the settings.
