OVERVIEW
The Haramosh Pass Trek is a thrilling adventure that takes trekkers deep into the heart of the Karakoram Range, one of the most magnificent mountain regions in the world. Starting from Arando, this challenging route leads through pristine valleys, shimmering glaciers, and remote alpine meadows before reaching the breathtaking Haramosh Pass (4,800m) — a high point that connects the Gilgit and Baltistan regions. Along the way, trekkers are rewarded with awe-inspiring views of legendary peaks such as Spantik (7,027m), also known as the Golden Peak, and Laila Peak (6,985m) of the Chogo Lungma group.
The journey’s crown jewel is the enchanting Kutwal Lake (3,260m), a turquoise gem nestled amid towering giants like Haramosh (7,409m), Rakaposhi, Bilchar Peak (6,134m), and Mani Peak (6,685m). The lake’s glassy surface mirrors these snow-clad summits, creating a dreamlike panorama that feels almost ethereal. Remote and rarely visited, the Haramosh region remains untouched by mass tourism, offering an authentic wilderness experience. This trek is perfect for adventurers seeking solitude, raw natural beauty, and a deep connection with the majestic Karakoram. Each step across the Haramosh Pass brings a sense of discovery, challenge, and reverence for Pakistan’s untamed mountain splendor.
