nangma valley
Baltistan is a beautiful valley in the Karakoram range and a famous destination for adventure and cultural travels. This region is known as the mountaineers’ paradise. Four of the 14 peaks above 8000m high are situated in the Baltistan region, and hundreds of 7000 m high mountains, along with world-famous trekking routes, are also located in Baltistan. It is also home to several diversified cultures, ethnic groups, and languages. Baltistan has colorful flowers, gushing streams, emerald lakes, lush green pastures, apricot orchids, and the always smiling & welcoming Balti people.When Eduard Koblmiller set foot in the Nangma Valley during his successful K6 expedition in 1970, he described it as a place of “unusual and primordial beauty.” The Nangma Valley looks like an impressionist painting with extreme colour contrasts and abstract lines that point to the sky with astonishing verticality. The valley’s beauty is almost touching, and unlike other and much more famous places, the base camps are only a short hike from the valley. Pakistan’s Nangma Valley is one of the most beautiful valleys in Pakistan, thanks to the massive rock walls that tower over you. This trek takes place in a less-visited part of the Karakoram, but one that will delight you. An easy Trek from Kanday town will take you to the beautiful Nangma Valley, known as the heaven of rock climbing and famous for its natural beauty. This marvelous trek is going through green meadows with a mesmerizing mountain view.
The Kanday Nangma Valley is likely Karakoram Baltistan’s best rock climbing location. Excellent rock climbing opportunities may be found in this area, including the well-known Amin Braq (5850 M) and the 5800 M Fantastic Towers.
The Baltistan Region’s Kanday Nangma Valley Trek may be the most well-known for rock climbing. The Kanday Nangma Valley is likely Karakoram Baltistan’s best rock climbing location. Excellent rock climbing opportunities may be found in this area, including the well-known Amin Braq (5850 M) and the 5800 M Fantastic Towers. So, we have tailored this programme to give scaling tops the best possible chance. So by selecting independent objectives, one need just establish base camps at the gorgeous green location encircled by granite towers. One of the most picturesque walking locations in Baltistan’s Hushe Valley is this valley.
