Snow Lake Trek

Overview

Snow Lake Hispar La trek in Pakistan is one of the most scenic trekking spots for skiers, mountaineers, trekkers and adventure holiday makers. Snow Lake is a high altitude 16km wide glacial basin situated at the head of Biafo Glacier and Hispar glacier in Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. The basin lies 16000 feet above the sea level behind the Hispar la pass in the Karakoram mountain range.

These two glaciers link up at Hispar la, making the greatest concentration of glacial ice outside the Polar region. The icy rivers connect two ancient mountain kingdoms — Baltistan in the east and Hunza in the west. Snow Lake-Hispar La trek is also known as the snow lake and Biafo Hispar trek, connecting Baltistan in the east and Nagar in the west.
