Rush Lake Trek Pakistan – Overview & Cost
The Rush Lake Trek in Pakistan leads you into one of the most spectacular high-altitude landscapes in the Karakoram. Nestled in the remote heart of Gilgit-Baltistan’s Nagar Valley, the trek brings you to Rush Lake at approximately 4,694 meters (15,400 ft) above sea level — one of the highest alpine lakes in the world.
Starting from the lush Hoper/Hopar Valley or the village of Hopar, the route threads its way through glacier-fed valleys, alpine meadows bursting with wildflowers and vast moraine fields. You’ll pass the Hoper Glacier (Bualtar Glacier) and the Miar Glacier, crossing terrain that brings both challenge and profound natural beauty.
A key highlight of the trek is the panoramic views of some of the Karakoram’s most iconic peaks: Spantik (Golden Peak), Ultar Sar, Malubiting, Miar Peak and, on exceptionally clear days, even the mighty K2. It blends accessible high-altitude trekking with awe-inspiring mountain scenery.
Though moderate in difficulty for a high-altitude route, the trek requires good fitness and acclimatisation due to the elevation gain and glacier crossings. The best time to undertake the Rush Lake Trek is from June to September, when the weather is most favourable and the meadows are at their peak.
Rush Lake, situated at an altitude exceeding 4,700 meters, stands as a jewel amidst the towering peaks of Nagar and Hunza Valley. This trek is designed to immerse you in the breathtaking landscapes of the Karakoram, where glaciers, high meadows, and terraced fields paint a picture of raw natural beauty.
As seasoned guides, we ensure a safe and enriching experience as you navigate through this picturesque terrain. Our routes lead you across majestic glaciers and verdant meadows, offering panoramic views that include some of the world’s most renowned peaks. On clear days, trekkers may even catch a glimpse of the legendary K2 summit from the shores of Rush Lake.
