The actual trips start in Islamabad, the modern capital of Pakistan and we drive on Karakorum Highway, one of the wondrous achievements of humankind with breathtaking views of Rakaposhi, Diran Peak, Shisper peak 7611 meters, Ultar peak 7388 meters, Passu Peak 7478 meters, Karon Koh (7200 meters, and the Batura massive 7500-7785 meters, so many Karakorum giants. Every day of the trip turns to be fascinating making the whole of the trip an incredible lifetime experience. The 65km long Batura Glacier, one of the fourth-longest Karakoram glaciers, stretches west from the KKH for 56km. The trek’s exceptional scenery includes 14 peaks higher than 7000m and huge Ice floes plummeting more than 4000m from the Batura Wall to the glacier. Most of the trek is through ablation valleys and along streams. With almost no steep segments, it affords gradual acclimatization and presents no major difficulties. Even the trek’s two glacier crossings are relatively easy. Trekkers also get a glimpse into the unique way of life of Passu villagers, who tend livestock in the summer pastures along the glacier’s north margin. Distance: 30 km / Driving Hours: 01 hr / Altitude: 540m / Activities: Sightseeing.
