Overview
Journey deep into Pakistan’s rugged Karakoram Range on a 10-day guided trek across the historic Thalley La Pass (4,572 m). This scenic route links the Shyok Valley with the Bauma Lungma Valley, passing through lush meadows, traditional Balti settlements, high-altitude pastures, and panoramic viewpoints of the Masherbrum Range.
Known as one of Baltistan’s easiest non-glaciated passes, Thalley La is ideal for trekkers seeking remote wilderness without technical climbing. Your adventure begins in Islamabad, continues with a spectacular flight to Skardu, and leads you into pristine valleys, friendly shepherd camps, and dramatic high-mountain scenery.
With all meals, domestic flights, hotel stays, camping logistics, permits, porters, and a licensed professional guide included, this is a seamless, fully supported trekking adventure.
