Description

Join a local guide on this scenic hike from Passu Glacier to Borith Lake in northern Pakistan.

One of the first sights that will take your breath away on the hike is the Karakorum mountains in the distance. The Karakorum is a beautiful, expansive mountain range that reaches into India, China, Afghanistan and Tajikistan.

On the hike you’ll also enjoy great views of cozy Passu Village and the jagged mountains that line the Hunza River.

Soon you’ll arrive at the Passu Glacial Lake. After taking a good moment to admire it, it’s time for the most challenging part of the trip: ascending the moraine. You’ll have to be cautious here as the terrain is loose and rocky, and the paths aren’t always clearly marked.

The strenuous hike up the moraine proves to be worth the effort when you see the incredible panoramic views of the Hunza Valley, Lake Borith, the eastern part of the Batura wall, and the picturesque peak known as the Passu Cathedral.

Book this hike to be blown away by the exceptional beauty of the Hunza Valley.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
