Naltar Pass Trek
Naltar Pass trek is designed you to provide a great view of the whole Hindukush range and
its mountains by trekking up
to Naltar -
Ishkoman pass which is a lush green pass. Naltar is
very famous in terms of its greenery and skiing opportunity in winter. Each
winter there arranges a competition of skiing Asumbar: Asumbar Hoghost,
a non-glaciated east-west pass, links Asumbar
village in Ishkoman with Dal Sandhi in Yasin. The pass is
occasionally called the Ishkoman Pass (not to be confused with the Punji Pass,
which is also sometimes called Ishkoman Pass). Asumbar Haghost
is one of the easiest passes to cross anywhere in the Karakoram and
Hindukush. The trek is also one of the most linguistically diverse. Along the
trail, Shina, Khowar, Wakhi, and Burushaski are spoken, not to mention Urdu.
The trek involves
walking through flowery meadows, lakes and spectacular greenery. The route also
passes through a lush forest of cedar, pine and birch. It therefore offers
something more diverse in terms of landscape and has more than the usual share
of scenic beauty without being too physically demanding. An excellent option of
beginners as well as an experienced trekker. The pass is also called Ishkoman
Haghost by Darkot villagers.
