"Thalay Broq is a spectacular high-altitude trekking destination that bridges the Thalay and Shigar valleys in Baltistan. This four-day itinerary focuses on the lush meadows and alpine beauty of the region, starting from the historic town of Khaplu. Trekkers navigate through rolling pastures, crystal-clear streams, and traditional summer settlements. The highlight of the trip is the exploration of the upper meadows, which offer vantage points of K2, Broad Peak, and Gasherbrum on clear days. This trek is relatively moderate, making it suitable for those who enjoy photography and serene landscapes over technical mountaineering. With its combination of cultural immersion in Khaplu and the wild solitude of the high Broq, this trek provides a quintessential Baltistan experience in a short timeframe."
