Holiday Overview
The possibility to traverse Haramosh Pass, located at an impressive altitude of 4,800 metres above sea level, is one of the Arando Haramosh La Trek's defining features. This pass serves as a critical link between the Baltistan and Gilgit regions, providing access to some of the most breathtaking vistas imaginable. You'll be treated to a mesmerising symphony of natural beauties along the trip, including the musical gurgles of crystal-clear streams, the vibrant colours of flowering meadows, the compelling spectacle of falling glaciers, and the mysticism of dark and fascinating forests.
The exquisite Kutwal Lake, glistening at an elevation of 3,260 metres, is definitely the trek's crowning jewel. Set against the backdrop of some of the Karakoram's most iconic peaks, this beautiful body of water appears almost unearthly.
Mani Peak (6,685 metres), Bilchar Peak (6,134 metres), Lila Peak (6,986 metres), Spantik (7,027 metres), Haramosh (7,409 metres), and Rakaposhi reflect in the mirror-like surface of Kutwal Lake, creating a surreal and postcard-perfect scene that evokes the feeling of being in a fairyland.
The isolated and less-travelled aspect of this excursion distinguishes it. Only a few brave travellers trek into this pristine and less-explored section of the Karakoram, allowing you to experience the untamed landscape in its purest form.
The Arando Haramosh La Trek promises an incredible trip through some of the world's most awe-inspiring natural vistas, whether you opt to climb the daunting Haramosh Pass or return the same way. It beckons you to bow in respect before the Karakoram giants, to immerse yourself in the majesty of this untamed wilderness, and to create unforgettable experiences in one of the world's most stunning mountain environments.
