The interconnected Biafo and Hispar glaciers, in the middle of the Karakorum range, west of the Baltoro glacier, provide an exciting adventure through 170 km of incredible rocky wilderness, snow and ice, 110 km of which are on or along the glaciers. This brilliant glacial traverse is accepted to be one of the worlds greatest high mountain journeys. After the famous "Snow Lake", we reach the highest point of this trek, the Hispar Pass (5150 m), where we find the largest junction of glaciers on earth. The view is breath-taking : ice and snow, crevasses and seracs with ridges and peaks which seem to spring towards the sky, Kunung Chush (7850 m), Kanjut Sar (7760 m), Pumari Chush (7490 m), Trivors (7728 m). The trek ends in a pasture area. It is necessary to have basic mountaineering skills (crampons, ice axe, harness ). |
