The first time
visitors to trekking in Paksitan the Rush Lake trek in the
heart of the Hunza valley, presents the best option. The
treks takes you into some of most amazing mountains beauties on earth. Crossing
glaciers, meadows and terraced fields of Karakoram mountains
you come across Rush Lake.Rush Lake (4,700 m 15,400 ft):
Camp, trek. In about 2 hours of walking we will arrive at one of the most
beautiful place in the Hunza valley having awesome views of the Karakoram.
If we climb a nearby hilltop, we can see K2 along with the
other high peaks of the Karakoram from there.
Our short trek starts across the valley and the Hunza river at a place called
Hoper. This is where the snout of the famous Barpu
glacier meets another glacier called Bualter. Hunzakuts (people from Hunza)
believe that glaciers are either male or female. Each glacier exudes its own
gender qualities and when a male and female glacier meet they give birth to
a baby glacier!
