Passu

About this tour

Passu is a peaceful village in Gojal, Upper Hunza, known for its dramatic mountain scenery and welcoming local culture. Located along the Karakoram Highway, it is a memorable stop for travellers exploring Gilgit-Baltistan. The village sits beneath the striking Passu Cones, also called Passu Cathedral, whose sharply pointed peaks create one of the region’s most recognisable views. e-tourism.visitgilgitbaltistan.gov.pk

A visit to Passu offers a chance to enjoy the landscape at a slower pace. Take in the mountain views, walk around the village, and photograph the contrast between rugged peaks, open fields and the Hunza River. The nearby Passu Glacier adds to the area’s impressive scenery, while the surrounding valleys and high mountains make the region appealing to nature lovers, photographers and trekking enthusiasts. Local guides can help visitors choose suitable walks and understand the terrain.

Passu is also a convenient base for exploring nearby attractions in Upper Hunza. Attabad Lake, known for its vivid turquoise water, lies to the south, while Hussaini village and its famous suspension bridge are close by. Travellers continuing north can follow the Karakoram Highway towards Sost and Khunjerab Pass. Passu village is around 20 kilometres north of Attabad Lake, making it a natural stop on a journey through Gojal. e-tourism.visitgilgitbaltistan.gov.pk

Beyond its scenery, Passu offers an opportunity to experience the everyday life of a mountain community. Visitors can enjoy local hospitality, learn about regional traditions and sample food prepared in the area. Staying overnight lets you experience the quiet evenings and changing colours of the mountains, which can feel very different from a brief daytime visit.
