This mountain rises like a wall over a small valley. And behind it there are others, even bigger, even more majestic. I think that this peak is part of the Passu Cones (Passu Cathedral, Tupopdan - 6,106 metres high), or a spur of the Lupghar Sar or Momhil Sar mountains (7200 and 7414 metres high). In any case, these mountains and the play of light on their slopes are incomparable.
Hundreds of small sharp peaks; talus, like streams and fans diverging along the mountain slopes... And all this splendor rises above the small village of Passu in the Gilgit Baltistan region of northern Pakistan. This place is one of the strongest points of tourist attraction in the region, it is easy to get here - the village is located right on the Karakoram highway. And from here you can walk to the mountains surrounding the valley, including through the Batura glacier, as we did — but not only, of cours: there are a lot of mountains and glaciers around. It is easy to find accommodation here, a guide to the local mountains, and, if necessary, porters.
Is it possible to get used to such a scale, majestic views and beauty around, if you were not born already surrounded by these mountains? I do not know. But if you live here, then you can admire such views all day, and at night you can look at the deep starry sky above your head.
It's better to watch the photos in high resolution.
