All about the Chikar Zom Expedition.

The Hindu Raj Mountains, a magnificent range that spans the Pakistani regions of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and Gilgit-Baltistan, are the setting for the mesmerising Chikar Zom Expedition. Chikar Zom Peak, a magnificent mountain that soars to a lofty altitude of 6,110 metres, dominates its centre. This extraordinary mountain is bordered by other noteworthy peaks, such as Darzan Muzh, Noghor Zom, and Palut Ghari, and is located not far from the Chatebori Glacier.

The Hindu Raj range creates a pure and untamed scenery in the northern areas of Pakistan by occupying a special position between the Karakoram and Hindu Kush mountain ranges. The Chikar Zom Peak Expedition takes travellers through breathtaking landscapes of mountains, glaciers, and picture-perfect valleys.

Other well-known peaks within this range, including Buni Zom, Gul Lasht Zom, and Koyo Zom, are just waiting to be discovered. Notably, Koyo Zom, which soars to a remarkable elevation of 6,871 metres, holds the distinction of being this range’s highest peak.

This adventure offers mountaineers a one-of-a-kind chance to scale Chikar Zom’s heights while taking in the pristine natural splendour of the Hindu Raj Mountains. This area, in the heart of Pakistan’s northern highlands, welcomes adventurers and offers an amazing experience with its breathtaking peaks, glacier-covered landscapes, and gorgeous valleys. The Chikar Zom Expedition is an enthralling experience that blends the excitement of mountaineering with the exploration of one of the nation’s most stunning and unexplored places.
