Patundas 草原健行，Hunza－3 天

After breakfast, we leave your hotel in Shishkat, Gulmit, or Ghulkin and enjoy a short drive to Borith, continuing to the trek's trailhead at Upper Borith (Zero Point). Here, we meet our trekking crew, make the final preparations, and begin our ascent towards the beautiful alpine meadows of Patundas.

The trail climbs steadily above Borith, rewarding us with increasingly spectacular views over Upper Hunza. As we gain altitude, the iconic Passu Cones dominate the skyline while the immense Batura Glacier stretches across the northern horizon.

After several hours of trekking, we arrive at Kookhel, the first campsite along the route. This scenic meadow provides the perfect place to enjoy a light refreshment, rest, and take in the magnificent mountain scenery before continuing higher into the valley.

From Kookhel, the trail leads onto the impressive Passu Glacier (White Glacier). Crossing the glacier is one of the highlights of the trek, offering a unique opportunity to walk across ancient ice while surrounded by towering peaks and dramatic glacial landscapes. Our experienced guide carefully leads the group across the safest section of the glacier before we continue towards the opposite side.

A final gradual climb brings us to Lazdur Camp, a peaceful alpine campsite overlooking the glacier and surrounded by some of the Karakoram's most spectacular mountain scenery. After settling into camp, there is time to relax, enjoy a freshly prepared dinner, and watch the evening light illuminate the surrounding peaks before spending the night beneath a sky filled with countless stars.

Wake up to the crisp mountain air and enjoy breakfast while surrounded by magnificent views of the Karakoram. Today's trek is relatively short as we continue our ascent from Lazdur Camp to the spectacular Patundas Meadows at approximately 4,200 metres, one of the finest natural viewpoints in Upper Hunza.

Upon arrival, we set up camp in the vast alpine meadows before taking time to explore this remarkable high-altitude landscape. Patundas is affectionately known as the "Table of Mountains" because of its extraordinary 360-degree panorama, where some of the highest and most beautiful peaks of the Hunza region dominate the horizon.

From the meadows, enjoy breathtaking views of Shishper Peak (7,611 m), Ultar Sar (7,388 m), Passu Sar (7,478 m), Batura Sar (7,795 m), the striking Passu Cones (Cathedral Ridge), and numerous snow-covered summits rising above the surrounding valleys. On clear days, the scenery is nothing short of spectacular, making Patundas one of the best panoramic viewpoints in the Karakoram.

One of the most remarkable features of Patundas Meadows is its unique location between two magnificent glaciers. To one side lies the vast Passu Glacier (White Glacier), its ice flowing down from the high peaks towards the valley below. On the opposite side stretches the immense Batura Glacier, one of the longest non-polar glaciers in the world. Standing between these two colossal rivers of ice is a truly unforgettable experience found in very few places on Earth.

After lunch, we continue on an optional hike towards the Shishper Base Camp, walking through colourful alpine meadows dotted with seasonal wildflowers and glacial streams. The route offers even closer views of Shishper Peak and the surrounding mountain amphitheatre, providing excellent opportunities for photography and quiet moments to appreciate the grandeur of the Karakoram.

Return to Patundas Meadows in the afternoon to relax, enjoy the ever-changing colours of sunset over the glaciers and peaks, and savour another freshly prepared dinner at camp before an unforgettable night beneath a sky filled with countless stars.

Wake up to one final sunrise over the magnificent Patundas Meadows, where the first light of day illuminates the surrounding peaks and glaciers. After breakfast, take a final opportunity to admire the breathtaking panorama before breaking camp and beginning the descent back towards Borith.

Retracing yesterday's route, we descend through the peaceful alpine meadows before reaching Lazdur Camp, where we take a short break to rest and enjoy the mountain scenery one last time. Continuing downhill, we carefully cross the impressive Passu Glacier (White Glacier) under the guidance of our experienced trekking team, enjoying a different perspective of this remarkable river of ice.

The trail then leads back to Kookhel, where we pause for refreshments before completing the final descent to the trailhead at Upper Borith. Upon arrival, our private vehicle will be waiting to transfer you back to your hotel in Ghulkin, Gulmit, or Shishkat.

Although the trek comes to an end, the memories of standing between the mighty Passu Glacier and Batura Glacier, camping beneath the towering peaks of the Karakoram, and experiencing one of Upper Hunza's most spectacular trekking routes will remain long after your journey is over.
