The peaks which are below 6500M high called trekking peaks in Pakistan and open to climb, for which royalty fee, climbing permit, liaison officer and other government formalities are NOT required. As the Government of Pakistan made open (free) to climb the peaks up to 6500M without climbing permit (without royalty of peak) in order to promote the trekking and mountaineering in Pakistan. There are several spectacular peaks below 6500M among ranges of Himalayas, Karakorum , Hindu-Kush and the Pamir in the trekking routes. If the peak is situated in the restricted area then you need the trekking permit from the Tourism Department (Gilgit-Baltistan Council) through a Government licensed agency with paying fee, which is 50 US dollar per person. It is also requires to hire licensed guide, buy a personal accident insurance policy also for porters and cook, will attend the mandatory briefing and debriefing at the Tourism Department in Skardu or Alpine Club in Islamabad.

The Haramosh Pass connects the Haramosh Glacier with Chogo Lungma glacier which lies in the North East. It is surrounded by Laila Peak (6986m), Mani peak (6685m) and the Haramosh Peak (7409m). The trek begins from Doko and ends at Dassu near Sassi where the valley meets Gilgit - Skardu road. The trek passes through the B.C of Laila peak starting from Bulocho. It is a difficult trek as the glacier on the upper reaches is heavily crevassed with danger of avalanches. The ascent is steep on the west side requiring the use of rope. It is a challenging trek and is only suited to experienced trekkers with mountaineering experience.
