The adventurers’ playground is Pakistan.
Apart from the snow lands of the two poles, the Biafo & Hispar Glaciers Snow Lake Trek are among the longest.
Together, the two glaciers form the longest glacial passage in the world, linking Baltistan with the former mountain kingdoms of Hunza and Nagar.
A little-used wilderness trail with pristine campsites has excellent potential for spring skiing and summer backpacking.
The walk may begin at Hispar in Nagar or Askoli in Baltistan.
We set out from Askoli and hike along the Biafo Glacier until we reach Snow Lake, a vast bowl of snow covering 77 square kilometers.
The depth has been measured by geologists and other professionals.
Trekking paths lead to Nagar, Central Hunza, and Shimshal from the enormous snow and ice-covered plateau known as Hispar Pass.
Trekkers traverse multiple glacier tails coming down from the mountains after passing Hispar La (Hispar Pass), located at an elevation of 5151m (16,998 ft).
The green and pleasant campsite before reaching Nagar and continuing on to the Hunza Valley is the reward for this effort.
Numerous tales about this difficult voyage reveal the cultural ties between the Baltis of the former Shigar state and the Burusho of Hunza and Nagar.
The Biafo & Hispar Glaciers Snow Lake Trek offers stunning views of some of the longest glaciers in the world outside the polar regions and culminates at the Snow Lake, a high-altitude glacial basin renowned for its breathtaking scenery.
This trek is challenging but rewarding for nature lovers and adventurers eager to experience the rugged beauty of the Karakoram range.
