The agency also offered another tour, a seven-day trek along the Batura glacier in Hunza.
“With few steep passages, this trek offers gradual acclimatization and presents no major difficulties, offering exceptional views of 14 peaks over 7000 meters and vast glacial landscapes,” added Terres d’Aventure.
Finally, the journey along the Karakoram Highway, which connects Pakistan to China through the Karakoram Mountains, is the least difficult.
