Fairy Meadows Trek & Hunza Tour

Fairy Meadow is a lush green plateau situated in the foot’s gin of Nanga Parbat at the Western edge of the Himalayan Range. Fairy Meadows is part of the legend that Fairy’s have heaven on this lush green plateau. This legendary name, Fairy Meadows, is the everlasting gift of Western tourists to the locals. Fairy Meadow offers superb views of the Nanga Parbat (8125 m), the highest mountain in Pakistan in the Himalayas. (9th highest in the world) Nanga Parbat is a Persian word that means “Naked Mountain,” which the local People call ” Diamer (Monarch of the God). It is also known as “Killer Mountain” among the mountaineers, as more than 40 climbers have lost their lives trying to conquer it during expeditions. It is about a 540 km drive through Karakorum Highway from Islamabad to Raikot Bridge (1400 m). Where local Jeeps will take you up to the Tatto village. It is an exciting drive from Raikot Bridge to the last town of Tatto (2900 m). Several photo stops are on the way up to Tatto, including a most impressive view of Karakorum Highway & River Indus from one of the sharp road turns. It would be a great experience to stay overnight on the fixed camping side or in the traditionally built wood huts, which offer a magnificent view of the North Face of the Nanga Parbat.

Great Karakoram Traverse

The Grand Traverse of Karakoram Mountains combines two of the world’s most exciting and beautiful treks! The combination of Gondogoro-La (5450m) via Baltoro Glacier Panoramic Trek goes through Snow Lake and Hisper La (5150 m). During the trek, we meet two main passes of Karakoram. Gondogoro-La offers a breathtaking view of Masherbrum, Hidden Peak, Chogolisa, Trinity Peak, Layla Peak, and the Gondogoro Glacier. The trek starts at Hushe Valley and goes through some outstanding mountain views. Trekking in the Karakoram Mountains is a beautiful experience, but traveling to Concordia is a lifetime journey. Galen Rowell described Concordia as the “throne room of the mountain gods.” Baltoro, home of hundreds of peaks, is also home to four 8000-meter peaks: K-2 (8611m) (Mountain of Mountains), Broad Peak (8047m), Gasherbrum-I (8068m), and Gasherbrum-II (8035m). The trek is in the heart of the mighty Karakoram and offers a magnificent view of snow-capped mountains. We have a special reserved day at Concordia to explore the hidden beauty of these panoramic peaks. The trek is a bit difficult and is recommended for good trekkers. The journey to giant Baltoro begins at Skardu, the capital town of Baltistan. Biafo & Hispar Glaciers have a total length of 126 km and are the longest outside the Polar Regions. They meet at the 5150-meter Hispar Pass. This immense highway of ice and stones connects the ancient kingdoms of Nagar in the west and Askoli (little Tibet) in the east.

01: Islamabad

Arrival at Islamabad Airport and transfer to hotel overnight stay in Islamabad.

02: Islamabad to Skardu (By Air)

Early morning flight to Skardu (flights are subject to weather); if unable to fly, we will depart for Skardu by road with an overnight stay at Chilas. Overnight stay in a hotel at Skardu.

03: Skardu

In case a flight has operated, we will go for a sightseeing tour of Skardu, and in case of no flight, the day will be used for overland travel from Chilas to Skardu. Overnight stay in a hotel at Skardu.

04: Skardu to Hushe

We drive in jeeps along the Indus and Shyok valleys before turning northwards up the Hushe valley to reach the road head at the little Village of Hushe. (Tent)

05: Hushe to Shaicho

After breakfast, Trek to Shaicho.Today, we will leave the last inhabited village of Hushe. We will rely on our local team for the remaining portion of our journey, who will carry our food and equipment and sustain our Trek. A short trek of about 3-4 hours takes us to the idyllic campsite at Shaicho. This camp lies at the junction of the Charakusa and Gondogoro valleys and is situated on a sandy, tree-shaded area beside a swift-flowing river. There are excellent views of Nameka, the rock pillars of K7, and the trail leading to the camp. (Tent)

06: Shaicho to Dalsanpa

After breakfast, Trek to Dalsanpa. We take a path on a wooded moraine ridge, which climbs steeply to the seasonal goat herder’s settlement at Golong. We stop for lunch here before dropping onto the glacier to scramble along its edge to bypass a steep rock section. A final scramble up a rocky gulley leads to the spectacular campsite at Dalsanpa, where there are a couple of tiny lakes and staggering views of a range of rocky summits, culminating in the snow-plastered summit of Masherbrum. (Tent)

07: Dalsanpa to Khuspang (Gondogoro base camp)

After breakfast trek Khispang. Down onto the glacier, our path follows the center of the ice river, sometimes walking on moraine and sometimes snow and ice. We got our first views of the Gondogoro La and passed the stunning spire of Lila Peak. A long day, walking beneath the beautiful spire of Lila Peak. (Tent)

08: Rest day at Khuspang (Gondogoro base camp)

Rest and acclimatization day at Khuspang. (Tent)

09: Khuspang to High Camp

After lunch, we will move our base camp to below the pass on a level site on the lateral moraine of the Gonogoro Glacier. This is a short walk of just a couple of hours, and the rest of the day is spent preparing for the crossing. (Tent)

10: High Camp-Cross Gondogoro La to Ali Camp

A very early start, as early as 1 or 2 a.m., a long day, but we are now well rested and more acclimatized to the altitude. We start very early to make the best of the snow conditions. The climb to the pass is fairly straightforward snow, with the final stretch to the pass being slightly more than 45 degrees of steepness. We will fix ropes to safeguard the ascent of clients and porters. After about 4 or 5 hours, our efforts are rewarded by one of the most fantastic panoramic views in the Karakoram. K2, Broad Peak, Chogolisa, and the Gasherbrums are all laid out before us as we stand at the crest of the pass. Descending from the pass presents greater route-finding difficulties than the ascent, and we must rope up since there are several crevasses and some short sections of steeper snow as we near the Vigne Glacier. It will take us an hour or more to descend from the pass to the West Vigne Glacier, and from here, we have a further three hours of roped trekking to our spectacularly sited camp, Ali Camp. (Tent)

11: Ali Camp to Concordia

After breakfast, Trek to Concordia. A long walk on the Vigne Glacier to Concordia – a huge junction of Baltoro, Abruzzi & Godwin Austin Glaciers at 4000 meters. (Tent)

13: Concordia to Urdukas

After breakfast, Trek to Urdukas. A long walk on the Baltoro Glacier, reaching the camping place at Goro I at lunchtime. Here, we are in the center of the glacier, directly below the imposing spire of Masherbrum. During the morning’s walk, we had a good view of the shapely summit of the Mustagh Tower on our right and Masherbrum on our left or south side. After lunch, we continued down the glacier, trekking across and around enormous piles of glacial debris. We headed for our first off-glacier campsite for a few days at Urdukas (4050Mm/13,287 ft). This famous camp is situated in the green ablation valley on the south side of the Baltoro Glacier. It offers fantastic views of the stunning granite architecture of the Lobsang, Cathedral, and Trango groups of peaks and the Uli Biafo. (Tent)

14: Urdukas to Paiju

After breakfast, Trek to Paiju. We continue our descent of the Baltoro on the glacier and a trail cut into the valley side. We pass the off-glacier camping place at Khorbose, cut across the glacier to its northern side, and descend from its snout to the camp at Paiju. (Tent)

15: Paiju to Karofong

After breakfast, Trek to Karofong. The Braldo River downstream, we skirt beneath Paiju Peak and follow a sandy and boulder-strewn path beside the Braldo River. Beyond the place known as Trowbaraq, we reach the tributary Pangma Valley and head upriver for half an hour to reach the bridge, which provides the only way of crossing the torrential Pangma River. On the other side, the route climbs over a steep spur to rejoin the north bank of the Braldo, which we follow for two hours to the camp at Karofong. (Tent)

16: Karofong to Namla

After breakfast, Trek to Namla. We cross the rubble-strewn snout of the Biafo and turn north to follow grazing trails beside this fantastic glacier. The path beside the glacier is initially quite demanding as it clings to the valley side, neither truly on the glacier nor entirely off it. The moraine-strewn glacier gives further harsh underfoot conditions, and it is with some relief that we climb the lateral moraine to discover a grassy meadow in the ablation valley beyond. This is Namla (Tent)

17: Namla to Mango

After breakfast, Trek to Mango is the short and moderate Trek on the glacier to Mango. (Tent)

18: Mango to Baintha

After breakfast, Trek to Baintha. We cross the jumble of boulders to the moraine ridges in the glacier’s center. Soon, we reach the ‘miracle highway’ of white ice, which provides easier walking to the glacier’s east side to make camp at Baintha. This is a splendid camping place, with lush grassland, abundant flowers and birds, and the chance to spot shy ibex on the mountain slopes above the camp. (Tent)

19: Rest day Baintha

Rest day at Baintha, since the alpine loveliness of this camp is not something to be rushed, bearing in mind that there is absolutely nothing in the way of greenery beyond this point for some considerable distance. This rest stop also allows the porters to bake a supply of Balti bread and chapattis over the coming days. Today, the very worthwhile option is ascending a peak above the camp for fantastic views down the glacier and across to the Latok group of mountains and the Ogre. (Tent)

20: Baintha to Simgang

After breakfast, Trek to Simgng. We will trek on the crevassed Biafo to Simgang Biafo junction. A hard & long day rewarded with breathtaking views of dozens of nameless peaks from 5060 m to Sosbun Brakkk 6413 m. (Tent)

21: Simgang to Snow Lake

After breakfast, Trek to Snow Lake. This will be a strenuous walking day but the most rewarding and memorable day of your life. Cruising first the crevassed glacier & later the upper ice flow, follow the footsteps of Conway, Shipton, and Workmans to reach Snow Lake. The workmen, on their first sight of this magical place, are bound to declare it “A huge basin of ice & snow that seemed in no way of this world” (Tent)

22: Snow Lake to Hisper Pass (5150m) and Khani Basa

After breakfast, Trek to Khani Basa. Today, we will wake up early in the morning and leave as soon as we are done with breakfast. We will try to reach the pass before sunrise. From the top of Hispar Pass (5150m), some of the finest views of the Karakorum, Ogre Peak (7285m) in the background of Snow Lake’s wide plateau and Hispar Glacier stretching as far as the eye can see, with the white pyramid of Workman peak to its north. After a refreshment and photo stop, we will proceed to the other side of the pass, which takes three hours to reach the campsite at Khani Basa. Most of the day, we will walk through deep, soft snow in single file with rope to avoid the hidden crevasses. (Tent)

23: Khani basa to Yutmuro Glacier

After breakfast, Trek to Yutmuro.Today, we will traverse the Khanibasa glacier, which takes around 2 hours. During the day, we have spectacular views of Kanjut Sar 1 (7700m) and the glaciers. The great number of wildflowers makes this day pleasant again. (Tent)

24: Yutmuro to Bitanmal

After breakfast, Trek to Bitanmal. An easy stroll through Ablation Valley brings us to Yutmaru Glacier, which takes approximately 2 hours to reach the viewpoint of Hisper Pass in the backdrop. Bitanmal’s campsite is filled with willow bushes and wildflowers. (Tent)

25: Rest day at Bitanmal

Rest day at Bitanmal and Explore around (Tent)

26: Bitanmal to Hispar Village

After breakfast, Trek to Hispar village. An early start is essential each morning as we descend the Hispar Glacier. This is because the side streams that must be negotiated are much less formidable before the heat of the day (and associated snowmelt) swells them to impassable proportions. After crossing the Kiang Glacier, there is a steep climb to regain the path that leads through the grazing grounds of Daltanas and Falolingkish. One large stream has to be crossed just before Falolingkish, and then a footbridge leads across to Hispar Village. (Tent)

After breakfast, we will drive to Karimabad. Upon arrival, we will be transferred to the hotel and checked in. In the afternoon, you will be free at leisure to go for a walk around. Overnight stay in a hotel in Karimabad.

Laila Base Camp & Haramosh La Trek

The Haramosh Pass connects the Haramosh Glacier with the Chogo Lungma glacier in the North East. Spantik Peak Base Camp is a popular playground for mountaineers attempting their first 7,000-meter peak in the Karakorum. It is surrounded by Laila Peak (6986m), Mani Peak (6685m), and Haramosh Peak (7409 m). It is also known as Golden Peak & Ghenish Chhish. We undertake a 12-day strenuous round trek in the heart of Karakorum, approaching the base camp of this beautiful peak on the fourth day of our trek. The fairy-tale lake of “Kutwal,” 3300 meters in altitude, is one of the highlights of this trek. It shimmers under the shadows of Haramosh Peak 7409 Mt. Kutwal Lake is situated at Haramosh Peak (also known as Haramosh or Peak 58), a mountain in the Karakorum Range of the Northern Areas. Very few adventurers visit this part of Karakorum so that we can experience the romantic wilderness of Karakorum in its prime form.
