Overview
This remote trek crosses two historic passes in the Hindukush - Darkot Pass (4600m) and Broghil Pass - connecting the Yasin Valley with the isolated Broghil region near the Wakhan Corridor. The route traverses vast pastures, glacial valleys, and the stunning Karambar Lake, one of the highest alpine lakes in the world at 4300m. It is a demanding journey through some of Pakistan's least-explored mountain terrain.
