Key Landmarks
Staying At
Trek Khurchhed to Upper Valley Meadow
A long, steep climb above Khurchhed through the valley's upper reaches. The terrain becomes progressively wilder — scree, boulders, and the first glacier snouts visible. Camp on a high flat meadow just before the glacier entry.
Key Landmarks
Staying At
Glacier Advance Camp (14,000 ft)
Strap crampons at the glacier tongue. Navigate carefully up the lower glacier to a protected moraine camp. Eat well and sleep early — the pass crossing starts very early tomorrow.
Key Landmarks
Staying At
Cross Chasak Bhatori Pass (15,100 ft)
Start by 4am. The final glacier approach to the pass col requires careful crampon work and rope team movement. The pass opens to extraordinary views. Descend steeply on the far side — mixed snow, scree, and grass — to the extraordinary sight of Chasak Bhatori village below.
Key Landmarks
Staying At
Chasak Bhatori Village to Killar Road
Descend from Chasak Bhatori along the traditional village path that connects it to the Killar road. A long but deeply satisfying walk through Pangwali villages and gorge terrain to road access and vehicle pick-up.
