Kutia Lungma Glacier, Glacier in Stak Valley of Skardu District, Pakistan.

The Kutia Lungma Glacier extends 12 kilometers in length and 3 kilometers in width within the Karakoram mountain range, north of Nanga Parbat peak.

In 1955, the glacier advanced 12.8 kilometers toward populated areas within 91 days, moving at a rate of 5 meters per hour.

Local residents consider the Kutia Lungma Glacier female in nature and performed rituals when it advanced toward their settlements in the 1950s.

Visitors can access the glacier from Skardu or Gilgit cities between June and September via an unpaved road leading from the Gilgit-Skardu route.

The glacier retreated 4 to 5 kilometers after reaching populated areas, now maintaining distance from Tookla, the last village in Stak Valley.
