The Biafo Glacier is located in the Karakoram Range in the Gilgit Baltistan region of Pakistan at a height of 5,128 m from sea level. It stretches for a distance of approximately 63 kilometres in Nagar Valley from the Hispar Pass in the west to the Braldu Valley in the east. The glacier is known for its unique beauty, with vast stretches of ice flanked by towering peaks and rugged terrain. It's one of the longest glaciers outside the polar regions. Hispar La is basically a mountain pass in the Karakoram Range which connects the Hispar Glacier and the Biafo Glacier. It stands at a height of 5,128 m from the sea level and is one of the highest passes in the world. It provides a spectacular view of the surrounding peaks, including the famous peaks of the Karakoram Range like K2, Broad Peak, and Gasherbrum peaks. Hispar La is often used as a trekking destination by trekkers and mountaineers which offers an unforgettable experience to mountain enthusiasts. Snow Lake was first discovered by Martin Convey in 1898. He named it Snow Lake and declared it as the best place to view the surrounding mountains of the Karakoram range. It is a high-altitude glacial basin in the Karakoram Range of Pakistan. It's famed for its stark, icy beauty. It is one of the world's largest basins of snow and ice outside the polar regions. Snow Lake serves as a starting point for treks to several surrounding peaks, including Spantik and Hispar.
