Holiday Overview
The trek to conquer Hachindar Chhish begins in Gilgit-Baltistan's Hunza area, where travellers can immerse themselves in the region's breathtaking scenery. A shorter route from Gilgit city is accessible for those seeking a more expedient option for reaching the top. The best time to attempt this difficult ascent is between May and August, which coincides with the season of favourable weather conditions that prepare the path for mountaineering achievement.
The Karakoram Mountain Range, a geological marvel, spans Pakistan and China and is home to some of the world's most recognised peaks, including the famed K2 and Nanga Parbat. This range, which spans around 500 kilometres in length and 200 kilometres in width, connects with the Hindukush and Himalaya Mountains at several points. Aside from its majestic peaks, the region is known for its gorgeous valleys and various inhabitants, including the thriving towns of Skardu, Hunza, and Gilgit. The fast-flowing Hunza River, a prominent feature of the landscape, flows southward to join the Indus River before continuing its trek across the country to the Arabian Sea.
The Hachindar Chhish Expedition not only provides the pleasure of mountaineering but also the opportunity to immerse oneself in the beauty of the Karakoram Mountains and create lasting memories in nature's embrace. Join us on this thrilling trek into the heart of this majestic range, where we will attempt to summit Hachindar Chhish, a peak that embodies the spirit of adventure set against a backdrop of breathtaking natural beauty.
