Passu & Gojal

Passu Cones, Attabad Lake and the upper Hunza frontier

Gojal is the far north of Hunza, stretching along the Karakoram Highway to the Chinese border at Sost. Passu is its postcard village, watched over by the jagged Cathedral spires — the Passu Cones — with the turquoise Attabad Lake (formed by the 2010 landslide) lapping the road below. Glaciers like Passu Ghark and Batura, one of the longest outside the polar regions, descend almost to the highway.
