Haramosh is for travellers who want something beyond the usual tourist spots. On this 6-day trip from Lahore and Islamabad we drive up the Karakoram Highway, take a jeep into Haramosh Valley and trek to Kutwal Lake, with glacier views and a night of camping in alpine meadows below Haramosh Peak. Your tour operator travels with the group the whole way.
A trek needs more care than a sightseeing tour. We plan the jeep, the walking pace and the campsite for the group, and your tour operator walks with you, so first-time trekkers feel safe and experienced hikers still get the wild side of Haramosh.
Your tour operator travels with every group and sorts out hotels, timings and changes on the spot.
New-model, air-conditioned vehicles chosen to fit your group size, with drivers experienced on mountain roads.
3 to 4 people per room on group trips. Private rooms on request at extra cost.
Departs from Lahore, with Islamabad travellers joining on the way north.
We leave Lahore and pick up the Islamabad group on the way north. Drive on the motorway and Karakoram Highway with stops, and a night stay on the route.
We continue past the junction of the three mountain ranges and leave the highway near Sassi for Haramosh Valley. Night stay in the area.
A jeep takes the group up into Haramosh Valley, then we trek through villages and meadows to Kutwal Lake. Camp for the night with views of the glacier and Haramosh Peak.
Sunrise at camp, time to explore around the lake and the glacier viewpoints, then the trek back down and jeep ride out of the valley.
We drive back down the Karakoram Highway and stay the night on the route.
Final drive home. Islamabad travellers are dropped off first and the group reaches Lahore late at night.
Road and weather conditions in the north can change. If a road is closed or the weather turns, your tour operator adjusts the plan on the spot so the group stays safe.
Snow can still cover the upper trail. Only possible in a good year.
Green meadows, open trails and the best camping weather.
Clear views and fewer people, but cold nights at camp.
Snow and cold make the trek unsafe. We do not run it in these months.
