Tour provider's comments

Is Patundas Trek difficult?

Patundas is a Plateau located at 4200m in the Ghulkin region of Upper Hunza. The trek is not difficult and it is recommended for anyone with a basic fitness level.
The aged persons who may find difficulty in climbing up to 4300m can reach the max possible altitude and still get some of the best views of the gigantic mountain ranges and so much more.

The glacier crossing is not difficult, but it is technical. Our expert guides assist you in crossing the glacier so you will have continuous assistance throughout. However, if you think, you may find it difficult or aged, you may carry crampons for the best experience. 

Is the glacier crossing in Patundas trek difficult?

The glacier crossing is not difficult, but it is technical. Our expert guides assist you in crossing the glacier so you will have continuous assistance throughout. However, if you think, you may find it difficult or aged, you may carry crampons for the best experience.

Note, that we cannot predict the exact situation on the glacier since it keeps moving particularly in the peak summer so it may be difficult as well. So you have to be prepared for a challenging situation. 

 

Patundas is located at 4100 - 4350m 
The lower Camp (Luzdhur Camp) is located at 3500m

The total trekking duration of the Patundas Trek is 3 days and 2 Nights. The distance is not two long so you will be able to do it if you have a basic fitness level. The elevation from the start of the trek to the lower Camp (Luzdhur camp) is 700 and from Luzdhur to Patundas is 600m.

You can prepare for the trek by doing a 10km hike everyday.
