Skam La Pass Trek

Embark on the Stunning Skam La Pass Trek Between Panma Glacier and Snow Lake in Gilgit-Baltistan

Discover the awe-inspiring beauty of Gilgit-Baltistan with the Skam La Pass Trek, a challenging and breathtaking high-altitude adventure that takes you between the majestic Panma Glacier and the mesmerizing Snow Lake. This trek is a perfect choice for adventure seekers, mountaineers, and nature lovers looking to explore some of the most pristine and untouched landscapes of northern Pakistan.


An Epic Journey Through Glaciers and Mountain Passes

Starting from the scenic region of Gilgit, the Skam La Pass Trek guides you through rugged terrains, lush valleys, and towering mountain ranges. The trek culminates at the formidable Skam La Pass, situated at an elevation of approximately 5,600 meters, offering a spectacular crossing between two incredible natural wonders: the vast Panma Glacier and the surreal Snow Lake.


Witness the Magnificence of Panma Glacier

Your journey begins with exploring the expansive Panma Glacier, an immense river of ice snaking through the mountains. The glacier’s shimmering surface, crevasses, and ice formations make it a captivating sight. Trekking alongside the glacier allows you to witness the raw power of nature’s frozen artistry while enjoying panoramic views of snow-capped peaks surrounding the area.


Cross the Challenging Skam La Pass

The highlight of this trek is crossing the Skam La Pass, a high-altitude pass that offers breathtaking vistas of the surrounding mountains, glaciers, and valleys. The ascent is demanding, requiring acclimatization, stamina, and determination. From the top of the pass, you’ll be rewarded with unparalleled views of Snow Lake — a high-altitude, turquoise-colored lake nestled amidst towering peaks, often referred to as one of the most stunning glacial lakes in the world.


Explore the Enchanting Snow Lake

Descending from Skam La Pass, you’ll reach the surreal Snow Lake, a pristine high-altitude lake famous for its striking blue color and reflective surface. Surrounded by snow-covered peaks and glaciers, the lake offers a peaceful and otherworldly atmosphere.
