Biosam and Chapchingal Pass Trek

Boisum and Chafchingol are two high passes nestled in the remote and stunningly beautiful Ghuzherav Mountains, connecting the serene Shimshal village with Koksil, located just 17 kilometers west of the Khunjerab Pass on the Karakoram Highway (KKH). This trek, traversing both the South and North Ghuzherav mountains, presents a spectacularly challenging adventure that rewards trekkers with breathtaking views of rugged landscapes, lush valleys, and towering peaks. Boisum Pass, while not glaciated, offers its own set of challenges, but it is the higher Chafchingol that truly tests your mettle. The approach to Chafchingol requires fording a deep and swift torrent multiple times, demanding both skill and courage, before tackling the Class 2 scree and loose rock that leads to the pass. Once at the top, the breathtaking vistas are a well-deserved reward, but the adventure doesn't end there. The descent from Chafchingol takes you over a crevassed glacier, adding an exhilarating element to your trek as you navigate the complex terrain and carefully maneuver through the icy landscape. This trek not only showcases the raw beauty of the Ghuzherav Mountains but also provides an unforgettable experience that combines both the thrill of adventure and the serenity of nature.
