An interesting yet less frequented traverse from Baltistan to Hunza valley crossing over the Biafo-Hisper pass at an altitude of 5151m. The combined length of 116 kms Biafo and Hisper glaciers forms the longest glacier after the poles. It offers excellent view of group of mountain and glaciers. Above all the Snow Lake has the charms of none. During this trek you will find a stunning experience of sunrise and set over the Karakoram mountains. The unique bio-diversity with natural flora and fauna gives great chances to see wildlife especially the Himalayan brown bears. The trek involves crossing of high pass, snow lands and many glaciers and streams. This trek requires good fitness and courage for a lasting nature reward. Driving through the Shiger valley up to Askoli village, the trek begins and enters into a corridor full of savage beauty. Traversing through the Biafo Glacier and snow lake the trek ascends up to the pass. After crossing the Pass and walking on Hisper glacier we will reach to the Hisper village in the next five days.
