Overview
This trek is one of the longest and most remote in the world, traversing the Biafo and Hispar glaciers, which form a single 120-kilometer "river of ice". It crosses the high Hispar La pass to connect the ancient mountain kingdoms of Baltistan and Hunza. Trekkers camp at Snow Lake, a massive glacial basin, and enjoy views of jagged peaks like The Ogre and Latok.
