Patundas trek is one of the most rewarding pastures
in Gojal region of upper Hunza. Once you reach patundas
after a strenuous trek, a world of infinite glacier ranges
opens itself to you. More than 16 gigantic 7000m high mountains
can be seen from the campsite in Patondas. You have a great view of
Batura Peak (7500m), Passu Peak (7284m), Dstegi Sar (7885m), Momil Sar (7342m),
Rakaposhi (7788m), and many more 6000m peaks all around you. On the right, you
can see the 6th longest glacier Batura Glacier and on the left, the scenic Passu glacier.
Imagine, having seen the highest mountain ranges surrounded by you making a panorama of
gigantic mountain glaciers. This is what makes Patundas one of the best treks in the
Karakoram range to do.
Patundas is a pasture with a lush green plateau where the local villagers take their cattle in summer. It’s
also best for stargazing as you will be at an altitude of above 4000m.
