Batura Werthum Pass Trek
 

The trek begins at China Camp and concludes in Ramanj village, traversing Werthum Pass at 5147m. It takes approximately 45 minutes from the high camp to reach the summit. The pass features slopes of 20-25 degrees on both sides and a permanent 3-4m vertical cornice on its north side. Trekkers should use a rope belay to navigate the cornice and cut steps in the ice to reach the talus below, especially before mid-July when there is more snow and a larger cornice.

Batura Glacier, the fourth longest in the Karakorum, extends west from the Karakorum Highway for 56 km. The trek offers stunning views of 14 peaks over 7000-M and immense ice floes cascading over 4000-M from the Batura Wall to the glacier below. The majority of the trek follows ablation valleys and streams, with gradual acclimatization and no significant difficulties. Even the two glacier crossings are relatively straightforward. Trekkers also have the opportunity to experience the unique lifestyle of Passu villagers, who tend to livestock in the summer pastures along the glacier’s north margin.
