| If there was ever a trip we could label as being mesmerizing, this has got to be it. It has impressed every single person whom has joined us on it. Many of our members who have significant travel experience in places like Nepal were unanimous in saying they had never experienced such untouched splendor elsewhere. The entire journey, and all its spectacular vistas is of such a scale that at first hand it is hard to comprehend. The combined length of the Biafo and Hispar Glaciers measures an incredible 124 kms, making it the longest continuous mountain generated ice corridor on the planet outside the Polar caps. This adventure begins with a spectacular one-hour flight from Islamabad to Skardu, the capital of Baltistan. While acclimatizing in Skardu you will have an opportunity to visit some of the ancient Buddhist sites or tranquil lakes of the Baltistan Valley. This is a classic trek through the enchanting valleys of Shigar, Nagar Hunza in Baltistan and Gilgit, passing through the largest glacier outside polar region and stunning crossing of Hispar La. |
