ATP’s one of the most specialized treks in Pakistan includes Rash Phari
Trek in the Karakoram. Rash Phari means sparkling Lake. It is one of the
most recommended treks for those who want to have a first time trekking
experience with a life long excitement. We walk on glaciers, through
villages to a look at the real life of those living at foot steps of
mighty glaciers, along the irrigated terraced fields with the impressive
view of the mighty Karakoram Mountains from summit of Rush Peak (5098
Meters). It is the junction of two famous glaciers of Barpu and Bualter.
It is interesting that local legends talk about the gender of these
glaciers of being male and female and also about their meeting and birth
of the new glaciers. Our trek starts at Hoper, a marvelous valley with
green fields and fruit orchards which is also famous for its potato
seeds which are exported to other parts of Pakistan especially in
Northern Areas. If you have enough skill you can climb Push Peak
