Wilio- The yak racing festival

Yak racing at an altitude of 4500 meters from sea level may seem like crazy, but Karakorum Expeditions always goes way out to create crazy and delightful experiences for its clients. The annual festival branded ‘Wilio’ is a brainchild of Karakorum Expeditions that features yak racing at the highest point in Shimshal. The festival is normally observed in the last weeks of July every year.

It is worth noting here that this festival is the first of its kind in the whole world and offers you spectacular and amazing experiences packaged in the purest forms of local hospitality. Because the region has remained secluded for centuries, the festival remains lesser known to the world.

We highly encourage trekkers and adventure lovers to join us on this wonderful venture and indulge in some unprecedented and unpracticed experiences. Perk up your luck by catching up with this festival during your yak-riding trek to Shimshal Pass.
