This stunning trek is a complete traverse of the Biafo and Hispar Glaciers taking in the picturesque Snow Lake along the way and ending in the beautiful Hunza region. From Askole we trace the first few stages of the K2 trek before veering off into the truly remote wilderness of the Biafo Glacier to Snow Lake and a crossing of the Hispar La (5151m). Whilst crossing the glacier the views of the Ogre (7285m) and Latok peaks are breathtaking. On some stages of our trek it will be necessary to employ the use of ropes to safely negotiate the many crevasses encountered, and some nights will be spent camping on snow and ice. Participants on this trek will need a high level of fitness and a love of the high mountains and absolute remote wilderness.

I'll be leading this trek for World Expeditions, so the booking must be made through them.  Just follow this link.
