Located in the Batura Valley Passu within the Gojal region of Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan, lies a true natural wonder. The Batura Glacier, stretching for 57 kilometers (35 mi) in the northern region, is a sacred place adorned with majestic mountains, extensive glaciers, and breathtaking landscapes, making it a paradise for lovers of Alpine beauty. Embarking on the Batura Glacier trek unveils an incredibly stunning journey through such captivating scenery.
