Kutiah Lungma Glacier lies to the north of Nanga Parbat, the ninth highest peak in the world, at a distance of roughly 20 kilometers from the northern bank of the Indus River. The glacier can be accessed from June to September starting from either Skardu or Gilgit city, as it is approximately 10 km away from the Gilgit-Skardu road. There is an un-metalled road leading from the junction of the Indus River and Stak Valley stream on the Gilgit-Skardu Road that leads to the base camp of the glacier.[1]
