Ultar trek


Ultar Sar (7388 m) is also known as Ultar, Ultar II, Bojohagur Duanasir II, is the southeastern

most major peak of the Batura Muztagh, a subrange of the Karakoram range. It lies about 10 km (6

miles) northeast of the Karimabad. A climb to the beautiful icefall will give you an appreciation for

how vertical things are at Ultar Meadows. Ultar Peak is known as technically hard steady ice and

rock falls, overhanging rocks and sheer ice, crevasses and sharp ridges. Many expeditions tried in

the past, but all of them failed but the only expedition which climbed it in 1997 was a Japanese

climbers group. The Ultar trek gives you magnificent views of Diran, Rakaposhi, Lady Finger,

Golden Peak, Passu Peak and Hunza Peak.

  1. Government did not do jack in the name of construction on shimshal road. It was made by the locals with the colleboration and help of AKRSP, AKDN and AGHA KHAN FOUNDATION.
    If you don't have enough knowledge about something don't speak about it.
