Here is a brief introduction of a spectacular trek, where
you will not find many trekkers on the way due to its recent
discovery. It is really a paradise for climbers having just basic
knowledge of climbing. By doing short stays on the way, they can climb
peaks bellow or above 6000 meter high. Although no peak of Hindu Raj
reaches 7000 meters, but there are several summits of great beauty and
considerable interest.
The Journey starts from Islamabad, the
Federal Capital of Pakistan. You will go along Indus Valleys traveling
on Karakoram Highway the eighth wonder of the world. From Gilgit you
will travel by Jeeps to Gotulti in Ishkoman Valley. The surrounding of
the valley consists of extremely greenish alpine landscape. You will
come across impressive granite wall of about 1000 meters, which is
easily accessible. After two days trek you will reach Bari Lake. The
whole area is summer pastures of Ishkoman people who are very friendly
& helpful who will offer milk, yogurt etc. The altitude of camp would
be 3850 m.
You will be among numerous peaks of 6000
meters. According to prevailing rules of Ministry of Tourism, a
climbing permit is required to attempt an above 6000 meters peak.
However, you can climb a peak bellow 6000 meters without any permit.
The trek will further continue to Darkot in Yasin Valley then to Gazin
Chitral.
