HUNZA THE LOST KINGDOM OF HIMALAYAS

RASHPARI PEAK (5058 M) CLIMB
Level C: (16 days) Across the river Hunza from Karimabad lies the beautiful, unspoiled Nagar valley. Traditionally the bitterest of foes, Hunzukuzts and Nagaries have made peace in a manner typical of royalty; by marrying the princes of one to the king of the other. The highest of this adventure in Nagar valley is the summit of Rashphari peak, from where you have commanding views of Nagar and Karimabad. Rakaposhi (7788m) and Diran (7258), which loom large on the horizon. The trek commences from ex-king of Nagar's palace, across the Barphu glacier to Hamdar, and in two days one makes the journey to a glacier lake at the base of Rashphari peak. The peak is not technically difficult, but requires a lot of stamina as altitude gains are severe. After ascending Rashphary peak, descend to Phahi Phari at the edge of Braphu glacier, traverse the Barphu and return to Shishkin and Nagar. For this trek it is mandatory to have emergency evacuation insurance.
