La stands for pass in Balti ( local language of Baltistan ). This program includes a visit to the base camp of Masherbrum Peak and crossing Thalle La, which connects Thalle Valley with Shigar Valley.

Both parts include moderate grade trekking but with the spirit of adventure and wilderness. During this trek, we witness a different culture, landscape and habitat of three parallel valleys i.e. Hushe, Thalle and Shigar.
