DRIFIKHA PEAK EXPEDITION

🏔️ Drifikha Peak Expedition (6,644m) 

🌟 “Climb into Silence, Rise into Glory” – Explore One of Karakoram’s Secret Summits

Nestled deep within the untamed wilderness of the Hushe Valley, Drifikha Peak (6,644m) – also known locally as Drifica or Durifika – is a beautifully remote and rarely climbed peak in the Karakoram range of Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. Surrounded by giants like Masherbrum, K6, K7, and Laila Peak, Drifikha offers a technically moderate yet rewarding high-altitude climb through a glacial wonderland of untouched beauty.

Unlike commercial peaks, Drifikha remains pure, wild, and sacred, ideal for adventurers seeking solitude, cultural immersion, and stunning summit views over the Hushe Valley and the Karakoram giants.

Chogholingsa Trek & Tours offers safe, guided expeditions to Drifikha Peak with expert local guides, custom logistics, and deep knowledge of the terrain and people.
