The Snow Lake is a glacial basin located at the base of the Hisper La in Gilgit-Baltistan. It lies about 16,000 feet above sea level and is approximately 10 miles wide. Geologists believe that the snow lake is 1.6 km deep and may be the last remaining ice cap on Earth.

The trek to Snow Lake and Hisper La is not an easy one. It takes a great deal of passion and fortitude to be able to go through the extreme cold. The trekking through endless miles of snow is not easy but very well worth it. Let us begin, shall we.

1. The trip starts from Chilas which is around 11-12 hours drive from Islamabad going through Kaghan and Naran.


2. From Chilas, another 8-9 hour drive is required on the Karakoram to reach Skardu. You must take a day off in Skardu to enjoy it.




3. After Skardu, you sit in a vehicle for the last time enroute your destination as you travel to the last village in Pakistan, Askole. The drive will take another 6-7 hours.


4. From Askoli trekking begins. It takes two to three days of trekking through snow and ice to go through Namla, Mango to reach Baintha, located at the foot of the Ogre Mountain. Most travelers take a day off at Baintha before traveling further.












6. Another couple of days trek through ice, blue streams and snow on the Biofo Glacier to reach Snow Lake. The Snow Lake lies at the head of Hisper La.









6. The Hisper La lies at 5151 meters and it is the place where the Biafo and Hisper glaciers meet. This is the one of the most remote regions in Pakistan and it can be scary to just have the skies, the snow and wilderness around you.




The trek to Snow Lake is filled with adventure, marvel and unseen wonders. Not many people have seen the Snow Lake and it takes someone with guts to undertake the journey. The Snow Lake is one of the wonders of the world, a place that will bring your closer to God!
