Overview
The Passu Cones are arguably Pakistan's most recognisable mountain silhouette — a jagged row of razor-sharp granite spires rising directly above the Karakoram Highway near the village of Passu in upper Hunza. This short but spectacular trek takes you beneath these extraordinary towers and along the snout of the Batura Glacier — the world's 5th longest glacier outside the polar regions. The combination of the needle-sharp Cones, the vast icefall of Batura, and the turquoise Hunza River below creates one of the most dramatic landscapes in all of Asia. This is an ideal add-on to any Hunza Valley visit.
