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.
