Overview Rakaposhi Expedition
The Rakaposhi Expedition takes you to the 27th highest peak in the world, with a height of 7,788m in the Nagar Valley of Gilgit Baltistan, Pakistan. Although Rakaposhi, along with other beautiful mountains, can meet even the highest requirements of true lovers of Climbing, they can safely say that this mountain is instead a concern.
Rakaposhi also forms a great massif and vertical, continuous, and towering slopes of over 19000ft from base to the summit, making it one of the most beautiful mountains in the world. While it may seem glamorous and “attainable,” climbers consider it one of the toughest to conquer. It has only three main routes, with Southwest Spur being rated the easiest. Less well-known adventure tourists get an opportunity to climb this mountain by trekking through the beautiful valley of Hunza and passing through such areas as Minapin before reaching Rakaposhi-Hunza.
