Trekking Peaks in Kuksil Valley- Hunza
Discover the hidden alpine gem of Kuksil Valley, nestled beyond the Khunjerab Pass in the upper reaches of Hunza, near the China-Pakistan border. This high-altitude adventure is designed for trekkers and climbers seeking off-the-beaten-path trekking peaks, panoramic views, and raw mountain wilderness.
Kuksil Valley, located at an elevation of over 4,000 meters, offers an unmatched blend of untouched landscapes, glaciated ridges, and unnamed peaks ranging between 5,000 to 6,000 meters. Surrounded by the towering Karakoram, it is a remote haven where few have ventured.
This expedition provides opportunities for acclimatization treks, basecamp exploration, and ascents of non-technical trekking peaks, ideal for those aiming to gain experience at high altitudes or enjoy summit views without technical climbing. Along the way, you'll witness dramatic vistas of Khunjerab National Park, spot wildlife like Marco Polo sheep and ibex, and immerse yourself in the pristine silence of the high Karakoram.
