Its beauty competes with that of Baltoro, even if it is much less visited. Probably the hardest trek in the world, close to 130 km of glacier; 7 icy strips crossed back and forth!

Unique landscape of the Snow Lake, the biggest glacier basin outside the polar area, 1500 m of ice.


An exhausting technical trek, crevasses scattered all over, walking in rope teams necessary during a few days…All along the walk, 7000 peaks, again and again, a dozen, including terrible Kunyang Chish or Destagil Sar slopes.


A complete trek, you might be able to link from Hushe with the Gondogoro La crossing, 250 km, for one of the most fascinating walks on earth.
