Embark on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure to Karambar Lake, nestled in the remote wilderness of Gilgit-Baltistan’s Ishkoman Valley. Stretching over 14 days, this challenging yet rewarding trek leads you through raw alpine terrain, ancient glaciers, and untouched valleys that few travelers ever see.
Located at an elevation of 4,272 meters, Karambar Lake is the second-highest alpine lake in Pakistan and one of the most pristine in the world. The surrounding Kutshkulin and Karambar glaciers, jagged sub-6000m peaks, and the dramatic Karakoram backdrop make this trek ideal for experienced hikers and photographers seeking an off-the-grid escape.
The trail winds through high-altitude meadows, river crossings, and natural landscapes untouched by modern life. Unlike the crowded eastern Karakoram routes, the Karambar region offers complete serenity, with star-filled skies and silent valleys that echo only the sounds of nature.
