Overview
The Marchoi Winter Trek is a four-day trek that takes you through forests and high passes in the Malakand region. It’s rated as an easy trek, but this doesn’t mean that it’s easy to reach—the road from Skardu to Shangla is treacherous and requires lots of time traveling on unpaved roads.
The Marchoi Winter Trek begins where the famous Khunjerab Pass meets with Chilas District, which lies between Islamabad and Rawalpindi. The total distance covered by this route is about 25 kilometres (15 miles). This can be done in two days if you’re fit enough for it!
