Rush Lake
Magnificent scenery on a short trek out of the
Hunza Valley
Spantik (7027
m)
Rush Lake (4694 m)
A beautiful short trek to Rush Lake at 4694 m with the
ascent of Rush Peak (5200 m). The trek starts in Hoper (2790 m) and climbs
up to Rush Peak at 5200 m where it is possible to see K2 and Broad Peak.
The scenery is spectacular with all the giant peaks of Hunza visible.
Across the Hispar valley there is a wall of four peaks from 7025 to
7885 m high. In addition there are great views of Rakaposhi, Ultar
and Spantik. On the return to Hoper we cross to the western side of
the Barpu glacier. No other short trek offers such magnificent mountain
scenery!
