Batura Glacier Trek

Arrive in Islamabad and transfer to your hotel. Depending on arrival time, there may be an evening briefing with your guide.

Embark on a full-day drive through lush valleys and alpine passes, including the scenic Babusar Top. Overnight in Chilas.

Continue along the legendary Karakoram Highway toward the iconic village of Passu, home to dramatic mountain views and glacial rivers.

The trek starts from the edge of Batura Glacier. A gentle but steady ascent leads to Yunz Ben, a green pasture at the foot of the mountains. The first views of the ice field are awe-inspiring.

You’ll cross sections of the glacier and hike along moraine trails toward Yashpirt, a stunning summer pasture with yak herders and wildflowers. The views of Passu Cones and Batura Massif are unforgettable.

The trail today takes you deeper into the glacier’s wilderness. Guchsum is a high meadow surrounded by ice cliffs and alpine ridges, making it a perfect rest stop in the middle of the journey.

This is a rest and exploration day. You can hike to a nearby viewpoint overlooking the central Batura Glacier or relax among wild yaks and alpine flowers.

Begin the return journey by descending back toward Yashpirt. The scenery feels fresh in reverse, with new angles on familiar peaks.

Another downhill trek through pastures and glacial terrain leads you back to the Yunz Ben campsite.

Finish the final segment of your trek, reaching the roadhead at Passu. A short drive to your hotel and a warm shower await.

Travel down the Hunza Valley to Karimabad, home to Altit and Baltit forts, local handicrafts, and panoramic views of Rakaposhi and Ultar.

Spend the day visiting historical sites, organic cafes, and learning about the rich culture of the Hunza people. Optional hike to Duikar viewpoint for sunset.

A scenic return journey via Babusar Pass brings you to the alpine town of Naran for your final overnight in the mountains.

Complete the journey with a return to Islamabad. Option to explore local bazaars or rest before departure.
