Passu Glacier, Mountain glacier in Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan.

The Passu Glacier extends for 20 kilometers through the Karakoram mountain range, connecting with the Batura, Shispar, and Ghulkin glaciers in northern Pakistan.

The glacier has functioned as a critical water source for generations of local communities, contributing to the Hunza River system and supporting agricultural practices.

Local residents of Passu village maintain traditions connected to the glacier, incorporating its presence into their customs and seasonal agricultural calendar.

Visitors can access the glacier through two trails: a 45-minute path from Passu village or a longer route starting near Hussainabad village.

The glacier produces natural booming sounds during summer months when internal ice structures break apart, despite the external temperature conditions.
