This highway of ice connects two ancient mountain kingdoms: Hunza in the west with Baltistan in the east.We begin our walk from Askoli towards K-2 then shortly head west onto the Biafo Glacier. After trekking three to four days we arrive at Banta Campsite located on an ablation Snow Lake Biafo Hispar Trek valley below the granite peaks of the Ogre (7813 m). The walk takes us past glistening clear lakes, bright spots of green grass, glorious wild flowers and the ever present vertical snow covered peaks hanging above to complete this dazzling scene. The next two days take us over the white covered Biafo Glacier to Snow Lake. We then make the exhilarating walk up to Hispar Pass continuously overwhelmed by the incredible views.

one of the most beautiful place on earth is Hunza valley Pakistan. It is situated in Gilgit region of Pakisrtan and is at more than two hour drive from the Gilgit city on Karakoram Highway. This valley have an elevation of 2500 meters and is situated on north/west of Hunza river. Hunza is the most popular tourist destination in Pakistan. It spreads on 7900 squar kilometer with a number of famous peaks with more than 6000meter height. These Peaks include Ultar, Rakaposhi, Diran, and ladyfinger.
Bublimotin, Bubli Motin, Bublimating or Ladyfinger Peak, is a distinctive rock spire in the Batura Muztagh, the westernmost subrange of the Karakoram range in Pakistan. It lies on the southwest ridge of the Ultar Sar massif, the most southeasterly of the major groups of the Batura Muztagh. The whole massif rises precipitously above the Hunza Valley to the southeast. Bublimotin, while having little prominence above the saddle with nearby Hunza Peak, is particularly notable for being a sharp, relatively snowless rock spire among snow peaks. This, combined with its height above the valley, makes it quite eye-catching; hence the distinctive name. It provides a 600 m (1830 ft) rock climb (with a very serious alpine approach) and has been the scene of some notable paragliding.
