Passu Glacier is located in the Hunza District of Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan, south of Passu village in Upper Hunza. Situated in the western Karakoram Range, the glacier lies beneath Passu Peak and is connected to the Batura Glacier along with several others in the Batura Muztagh subrange. Meltwater from the glacier supports local agriculture and nearby settlements, where communities developed a sophisticated irrigation system centuries ago to manage and distribute the water.
