Patundas Trek 2023

Patundas trek is one of the most rewarding pastures in Gojal region of upper Hunza. Once you reach patundas after a strenuous trek, a world of infinite glacier ranges opens itself to you. More than 16 gigantic 7000m high mountains can be seen from the campsite in Patondas. You have a great view of Batura Peak (7500m), Passu Peak (7284m), Dstegi Sar (7885m), Momil Sar (7342m), Rakaposhi (7788m), and many more 6000m peaks all around you. On the right, you can see the 6th longest glacier Batura Glacier and on the left, the scenic Passu glacier.  Imagine, having seen the highest mountain ranges surrounded by you making a panorama of gigantic mountain glaciers. This is what makes Patundas one of the best treks in the Karakoram range to do. 

Patundas is a pasture with a lush green plateau where the local villagers take their cattle in summer. It’s also best for stargazing as you will be at an altitude of above 4000m.
