Snow Lake – Biafo Hisper Pass Trek
The Snow Lake – Biafo Hisper Pass Trek is one of the most spectacular and remote high-altitude adventures in the Karakoram. This challenging trek leads through the massive Biafo and Hisper Glaciers, covering over 100 km of continuous glacier travel—the longest outside the polar regions. At the heart of the journey lies Snow Lake (Lukpe Lawo), a vast glacial basin surrounded by towering granite peaks and ice walls. Trekkers cross the Hisper La Pass (5,151m) to reach the lush Hisper Valley, linking the regions of Baltistan and Nagar. This trek is ideal for seasoned trekkers seeking true wilderness, dramatic scenery, and a rare sense of isolation in one of the world's most untouched mountain landscapes.
