Passu Peak Climbing Expedition

Passu Peak is a prominent mountain located in the Gilgit-Baltistan region of northern Pakistan. It is part of the Karakoram mountain range and is renowned for its rugged beauty and steep ridges. With an approximate elevation of 7,478 meters (24,534 feet), it is one of the tallest peaks in the region. The peak is situated near the village of Passu, along the Karakoram Highway, about 20 kilometers from the town of Karimabad in Hunza Valley.

Passu Peak is part of a stunning group of mountains in the Passu region, which includes the famous Passu Cones, also known as “Cathedral Ridge.” This line of sharp, pointed peaks is a popular subject for photography and attracts trekkers and climbers alike. While climbing Passu Peak can be challenging, the surrounding area offers a variety of trekking routes, ranging from relatively easy day treks to more strenuous multi-day adventures.

The Karakoram Highway, which passes through Hunza Valley, provides an adventure in itself, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding peaks and landscapes. Although Passu Peak is considered one of the easier 7,000-meter peaks in Pakistan, the section from the advanced camp (ABC) to Camp 1 can be difficult due to crevasses and ice falls.
