Getting There<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If you have your own transport drive up, it takes around 15 minutes from the Passu valley. If you don\u2019t have your own car you have to take local transport e.g Jeep from the passu valley to the passu Glacier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Passu Gllacier is geographically situated at 36\u00b027\u2032 to 36\u00b028\u2032N and 74\u00b038\u2032 to 74\u00b052\u2032E in the south of Batura glacier. The elevation of Passu glacier rises from 1,200\u2009m at the base to 7,500\u2009m high peak above the mean sea level and contains steep slopes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can easily go to Passu Glacier by yourself and hike along the side of it but if you plan to get on the glacier it\u2019s best to take a guide for the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The guide will know the best way to get on the glacier and cross the more dangerous precipes that are on the side of the glacier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To get up there to the start of the hike by the glacier you have 2 options. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Walk up from the main Karakorum Highway road on the dirt road passing villages with fresh fruit gardens and the scenic Borith Lake. The walk will take 1-2 hours depending on fitness.<\/li>
  2. If you have your own transport drive up, it takes around 15 minutes. If you don\u2019t have your own car you have to take local transport.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
