De Haramosh La Trek is een van de meest afgelegen, wilde en ontzagwekkende trektochten op grote hoogte in het Karakoram gebergte in het noorden van Pakistan. Deze uitdagende route doorkruist de dramatische landschappen tussen de weelderige Haramosh Vallei in Gilgit en het afgelegen Arandu dorp in Baltistan, en steekt de formidabele Haramosh La Pas over op ongeveer 4.800 meter.


In tegenstelling tot populaire trekkings in de Karakoram zoals het K2 Basiskamp of het Rakaposhi Basiskamp, wordt de Haramosh La Trek zelden bezocht en blijft buiten de gebaande paden - een ongeëvenaard avontuur voor doorgewinterde trekkers en alpiene puristen.


Een tocht door contrasterende werelden


De trektocht begint in de serene Haramosh Vallei, waar terrasvormige velden, walnootbomen en traditionele stenen huizen op de hellingen staan. Als trekkers stijgen naar het Kutwal meer, worden ze beloond met dramatische uitzichten op Haramosh Peak (7.397m), Laila Peak en gletsjermorenen. Het rustige alpenmeer van Kutwal, omringd door torenhoge pieken, is een hoogtepunt op zich.


Daarna neemt de reis een gedurfde wending naar het ijzige rijk van de Haramosh La gletsjer. De beklimming van de Haramosh La pas is technisch en veeleisend en vereist vaardigheden op het gebied van gletsjerreizen en de juiste uitrusting. Eenmaal over de pas verandert het landschap dramatisch - van de ijzige wereld van de hoge Karakoramgletsjers naar de surrealistische, uitgestrekte Chogo Lungma gletsjer, waar de gouden wanden van Spantik (7.027 m), ook bekend als Golden Peak, over uitkijken.


Vanaf hier gaat de tocht verder door zelden verkende valleien, om uiteindelijk af te dalen naar de ruige schoonheid van Arandu, een dorp gelegen aan de samenvloeiing van gletsjerstromen en alpenweiden. Dit is ook een uitvalsbasis voor expedities naar Spantik en andere toppen van de Hispar Muztagh subrange.
