Patundas Trek

Today, our journey takes us to Chilas, and the route we choose will depend on the status of the Babusar Pass. If the pass is open and travel conditions are favorable, we will embark on a scenic drive via the Naran Valley. This route promises breathtaking landscapes and a unique adventure through the picturesque Naran Valley.

However, if the Babusar Pass is closed due to weather or other factors, we will opt for the Karakoram Highway (KKH) route, ensuring a safe and comfortable journey to Chilas. Our choice of route will be made with your safety and travel conditions in mind, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable passage to our destination.
