Biafo and Hisper glaciers combine together 122km forms the world's longest glacier outside the polar region. Coiling out from snow-lake, smooth glaciers, and writhe between nameless and unclimbed peaks stretches away as far as the eye can see. Snow Lake gives a feeling of a vast snowy space without a hint of vegetation.

After seven hours jeep journey from Skardu the trek will begin at Askole, following the K2 trek for a short way, the trek turn to left into Biafo Glacier, you immediately find yourself in a wild and rarely traveled place.
This 122 km ice corridor trek from Askoli to Hisper over the dancing rocks, stepping over crevasses, viewing stunning mountains, crossing splashing streams, camping at the lateral moraines full of flora and fauna; crossing the 5150m Hisper Pass and four major side glaciers, we will end up the trek at Hisper village, the first permanent settlement after leaving Askoli in 12/13 days.
