Alpine Style
This
trek begins at Borit Lake. As we ascend up a beaten trail, crossing the
Passu Glacier we reach the high point of Patundas at 4200m, the summer
home of Gulkin Shepherds, and thousands of sheep and goats.
From
this plateau we have the magnificent views of Shispare 7611m, Passu Peak
7284m, the entire Shimshal mountain range, and the Battura Massif.
Camping places are selected to make sure
a spectacular view. Look out for a breathtaking moonlit night, or a
memorable sunshine, from behind the Distaghil Sar 7895m in Shimshal.
