The Nangma Valley Trek is a scenic high-altitude journey through one of the most beautiful alpine valleys in the Karakoram Range. Often referred to as 'the Yosemite of Pakistan,' the valley gained international fame after being named to The New York Times' '52 Places to Visit' list in 2024. Located in the Hushe region of Baltistan, the trek winds through twin 3,300-ft granite ranges, braided streams, and pastures dotted with apricot trees. Trekkers enjoy close-up views of iconic peaks such as Amin Brakk, the Great Tower, and Changi Tower. This route is ideal for those seeking a genuine Karakoram experience with moderate walking on established trails and minimal glacier travel, complemented by cultural visits to historic sites like Khaplu Palace and Chaqchan Mosque.
