Sost Serena Hotel serves as a gateway to some of Pakistan’s most remarkable landscapes:
Khunjerab Pass, at an altitude of 4,693 meters, is the world’s highest paved international border crossing and a marvel of engineering and natural beauty. It marks the gateway between Pakistan and China along the Karakoram Highway, offering panoramic views of snow-dusted peaks and high-altitude grasslands. A visit here is both a geographical and cultural experience, often enhanced by glimpses of marmots or ibex in the surrounding terrain.
Nestled at 2,600 meters above sea level near Passu, Borith Lake is a peaceful high-altitude oasis surrounded by the stark beauty of Upper Hunza. This glacial lake is a sanctuary for migratory birds and an ideal spot for those seeking quiet reflection, scenic walks, or a boat ride with views of the Passu Cones in the distance.
The Batura Glacier is one of the longest non-polar glaciers in the world, stretching over 56 kilometers. Its sprawling ice mass and the lush Batura Valley create a dramatic contrast of icy silence and alpine meadows. Trekkers and nature lovers are drawn to the area for its remote beauty, yaks grazing in wild pastures, and uninterrupted views of soaring Karakoram peaks.
Located deep within Chipursan Valley, near Pakistan’s remote border with Afghanistan, the Shrine of Baba-e-Ghund is a spiritual and cultural landmark revered by locals. Set against rugged mountains and dramatic valleys, the shrine is visited by travelers seeking blessings and those intrigued by the mystical heritage of the Wakhi people in one of the last human settlements before the Afghan frontier.
