Patundas Meadows Trek in Hunza
Glacier Views, Mountain Trails & Scenic Camping
Discover the mountain wilderness of Upper Hunza on the Patundas Meadows Trek, a rewarding adventure between the Passu and Batura glaciers. Open pastures, dramatic glacier valleys and towering Karakoram peaks make this journey especially appealing to hikers, photographers and travellers who enjoy camping close to nature.
Starting near Borith Lake, the route passes through Passugar, crosses the Passu Glacier and continues to Luzhdur before climbing towards Patundas. The landscape changes from rocky trails and ice to high summer meadows, with seasonal wildflowers and wide mountain views along the way.
Camping is part of what makes Patundas memorable. Watch the evening light settle across the peaks, sleep under canvas and wake to the stillness of the mountains. Encounters with Wakhi herders in the summer pastures may also offer insight into the traditions and daily life of Upper Hunza.
This is a demanding trek involving steep ascents, uneven terrain, high altitude and a glacier crossing. Good fitness, suitable equipment, acclimatisation and experienced local guidance are essential to planning the journey.
