2. Trich Mir Base Camp Trek

Overview

Reminiscent to the Baltoro glacier trek, but much shorter, this trek delights fans of big mountains and mighty glaciers. It is a demanding trek where you are off and on the lower Tirich glacier trekking right into the very centre of the high Hindukush mountains to the base camp of Tirich Mir 7708m know as “Babu camp 4724m” named after our veteran guide Babu Mohammed. On route, there are impressive 7000m summits like Noshaq 7492m, Istor Nal 7403m besides others. Two excess routes are possible either through Torkhow valley or the Zani pass which is preferred for acclimatization before the high trek. The trip can be combined with other treks in the region.

4. The Wakhan Corridor

The Wakhan Corridor (or Wakhan) is the narrow strip of territory in northeastern Afghanistan that extends to China and separates Tajikistan from Pakistan. The corridor, wedged between the Pamirs to the north and the Karakoram range to the south, is about 350 km (220 mi) long and 13–65 kilometres (8–40 mi) wide.

While trekking we cross three passes starting with an easy stroll through the valleys and pastures. The scenery is captivating and out of this world. We pass by the Wakhan, an easy route from Russia which makes it a place of crucial importance.  The Chillinji Pass joins the region with the upper Hunza Valley above Sost. We cross the famous shrine called Ziarat Baba Ghundi to arrive on the KKH and drive to Karimabad, the capital of the former Hunza state. In Hunza, we do sightseeing, enjoy the beauty of the surrounding mountains and experience the traditional hospitality of the local people. Later on we drive along the KKH as we return to Islamabad.
