Tirich Mir Base Camp Trek Two excess routes are possible either through Torkhow valley or the Zani pass which is preferred for acclimatization before the high trek. The trip can be combined with other treks in the region.
The Hindukush lies beyond the reach of the monsoon and, is a deserted, arid mountain scape visited by very few. The scenic Tirich Mir valley is very fertile, and populated with several small villages.
A spectacular drive to Uthul takes us to the jump off point, and trekking across Zani Pass (3886m) provides excellent views Hindukush and the Hindu Raj Ranges. Passing through the villages fo Atak and Bandak, one arrives Shogor, at the food of the Trich Glacier.
A free day will enable us to explore and will, allow for fantastic vies of Trich Mir (7708m), Istoro Nal (7403m) and heavily crevassed upper Trich Glacier. Visit legendary Kafir Kalash of Chitral.
