Thalle La Pass Trek

The Masherbrum Thalle La Trek valley connects Shigar valley with the Hushe area. The valley runs along the Park’s boundary between Khaplu and Shigar. The itinerary follows the
Park boundary reaching Thalle La and passing along the Thalle valley. It is very interesting both from cultural (route 56) and trekking (trek 28) point of view. The Thalle La trekking route between Khaplu and Skardu gently ascends the attractive Thalle Lungma and cross snow-covered Pass, emerging in the dramatic expanse of the Shigar Valley. The large and green Thalle Lugma leads north-west from the Shyok River, 15km west of Khaplu and 85 km from east of Skardu. The upper valley divides, and the north branch leads over the infrequently crossed Tusserpo La (5084m) while the south branch leads over easier Thallee La (4572m). Both Passes lead to the Bauma Lungma, which runs south-west to Shigar valley. Masherbrum Thalle La Trek, one of the few non-glaciated passes and one of Baltistan’s easiest, lends itself to backpacking.
