Ski Touring Trips
Ski tours in Pakistan offer thrilling backcountry adventures across the snowy slopes of Malam Jabba, Nanga Parbat Region, Deosai, Koksil Khunjerab and Snow Lake
Skiing in Pakistan offers a diverse range of experiences, from the developed slopes of Malam Jabba in Swat Valley—Pakistan’s oldest and only public ski resort—to extreme backcountry expeditions in high-altitude wilderness. As of January, Malam Jabba is fully operational with beginner slopes open and professional snowmaking facilities enhancing the natural snowpack. For more adventurous skiers, the Nanga Parbat Region and the Deosai Plateau (the world’s second-highest plateau) provide vast, untouched powder for ski traversing and winter expeditions. Experts also seek out the remote Koksil Khunjerab near the China border and the legendary Snow Lake in the Karakoram Range, where grand crossings involve skiing across massive glaciers like the Biafo and Hispar. These high-altitude tours, often reaching elevations above 4,000 meters, allow thrill-seekers to experience the raw beauty of Pakistan’s northern landscapes in their most pristine winter state.
