Passu Cones

Rising dramatically along the Karakoram Highway in Upper Hunza, the iconic Passu Cones — also known as the Passu Cathedral — are among the most striking peaks in northern Pakistan. Located near the peaceful village of Passu in Hunza Valley, these sharp, jagged spires create a skyline unlike anywhere else in the world.

The cones glow beautifully at sunrise and sunset, making them a paradise for photographers and nature lovers. Surrounded by glaciers, suspension bridges, and the Hunza River, this spot perfectly captures the raw beauty of the Karakoram range.
