Paradise Karakoram Trekking & Tours

Nangma Valley EXPEDITION

Overview

Nangma Valley is undoubtedly one of the finest rock climbing destinations in the Karakoram region of Baltistan. This remarkable area offers a wide range of rock climbing opportunities, varying from moderate to high-altitude challenges. Among its notable peaks are Amin Braq (5850 meters) and several incredible towers at around 5800 meters in height. To maximize your potential for summiting these peaks, we've designed a program that allows for flexible and independent exploration. This entails establishing base camps at the stunning, lush green sites surrounded by towering granite formations. Nangma Valley, situated within the enchanting Hushe Valley of Baltistan, stands as one of the most picturesque and rewarding trekking destinations for adventure enthusiasts.
