Overview
This trek goes over Haramosh Pass which connects the Haramosh Glacier with the Chogo Lungma glacier in the North East of the Karakorum range. The area is surrounded by Laila Peak (6986m), Mani peak (6685m), and the Haramosh Peak (7409m). You will start trekking at Doko and ends at Dassu near Sassi where the valley meets Gilgit Skardu road. The trek passes through the B.C. of Laila peak starting from Bulocho.
The Haramosh La trek is considered rather difficult as the glacier on the upper reaches is heavily crevassed which creates avalanches. The ascent is steep on the west side requiring the use of rope. It is a challenging trek and is only suited to experienced trekkers with mountaineering experience.

Questions about this trip
This is graded challenging. You should be comfortable walking for several hours a day, on rough ground, across 19 Days. Porters carry the main loads; you carry a light daypack. If you tell us your recent hill days we will give you an honest answer.
The reliable window is June – September. Outside that, conditions on the route make it either unsafe or not worth the money. We can run private departures on any dates inside that window.
4 – 12 people. Smaller and private groups are available and often cost less per head than you would expect — ask us for a quote on your own dates.
Because the honest number depends on group size, dates, hotel standard and how much of the route you cover. We quote one all-in figure for your actual group rather than a headline price that grows later.
