Embarking on the Biafo Hispar trek through snow lake, situated in Pakistan’s northern Karakoram mountain range, is a challenging and extended journey. The trek commences at Askole and involves traversing the lengths of the Biafo and Hispar glaciers before reaching the valleys of Nagar and Hunza. Standout sights include the snow lake and Hispar La pass (measuring 5,128 meters), which delineates the Hispar glacier (44km in length) and the Biafo glacier (stretching 63km). The Biafo glacier holds the title of being the world’s third largest glacier located outside of the polar region. The picturesque scenes along the trek are unparalleled.
