The 4800m high above sea level, Haramosh La connects Baltistan with Gilgit valley. This tour is an extravaganza of nature painted with crystal clear streams, flowering meadows, cascading glaciers and dense forest. Above all, the beautiful Kutwal lake at 3260m flickering under the Mani Peak 6685m, Bilchar Peak 6134m, Lila Peak 6986m, Spantik 7027m, Haramosh 7409m and Rakaposhi peaks, all combined make this place and abode of fairies.
This fantastic trek has many contrasting features starting at Arandu, the last outpost of the Shigar Valley of Baltistan and crossing over the Haramosh La enters in the upper Haramosh valley with lush green meadows surrounded by the thick pine forests and snow covered peaks in the backdrop.
The trek runs in the strip between Indus and Hunza rivers.
