Tour Overview
The Batura Glacier Trek takes place in the remote and dramatic landscape of Upper Hunza, starting from the picturesque village of Passu. Stretching over 57 kilometers, the glacier flows beneath the towering peaks of the Batura Muztagh, forming one of the most impressive glacial valleys in Pakistan.
This trek is ideal for adventure travelers seeking a balanced combination of nature, culture, and high-mountain scenery without technical climbing requirements. The trail gradually ascends through rocky moraines, green pastures, and seasonal shepherd settlements. Along the way, trekkers witness crystal-clear glacial streams, wildflowers, and uninterrupted views of massive ice walls surrounded by peaks exceeding 7,000 meters.
Beyond the natural beauty, the trek offers meaningful cultural exposure to the Wakhi people who inhabit these high-altitude valleys. Visitors experience local hospitality, traditional cuisine, and daily life in one of the most isolated yet vibrant communities in the Karakoram region.
With professional guiding support, proper acclimatization, and structured logistics, this trek provides a safe and unforgettable adventure into one of Pakistan’s most spectacular glacier landscapes.
