The Lukpe La Pass Trek, also known as the Snow Lake Trek, is one of the most iconic and adventurous expeditions in Pakistan's Karakoram Range. At 5,151 m, Lukpe La connects the Biafo Glacier to the Hispar Glacier, creating a continuous 100 km ice corridor, one of the longest glacier systems outside the polar regions.
The journey across Snow Lake (Lukpe La) offers breathtaking alpine scenery, dramatic ice landscapes, and views of peaks like Baintha Brakk (The Ogre), Latok peaks, Kanjut Sar, and Hispar Muztagh. This trek is a dream for adventure seekers and is considered one of the most spectacular glacier traverses in the world.
