3 Days Max 4,300m (Patundas Meadow)Moderate Passu 4.8 · 16 reviews
Patundas is a high meadow above Passu offering one of the best accessible panoramas in Hunza, Passu Glacier, the Passu Cones and a wide sweep of Karakoram peaks, reached in a single steep but manageable day's climb from the valley floor. It's the standout short trek for travelers who want a genuine high altitude view without committing to a multi week glacier expedition.
Trek Itinerary
Day 1, Passu to Patundas Base
Begin the steep climb from Passu village toward Patundas, camping partway up.
Day 2, Patundas Meadow
Continue to the high meadow at 4,300m for panoramic views of Passu Glacier and the surrounding peaks; camp overnight for sunset and sunrise.
Moderate but steep, a fit hiker can manage it, with a solid climb on day one. It's a serious short trek rather than a casual walk.
Patundas offers a higher, wider, more dramatic panorama than Eagle's Nest, at the cost of a genuine two day trekking commitment rather than a short drive and walk.
