Rash Lake & Patundas Trek
CTTP’s most specialized treks in Pakistan include Rash Phari Trek. 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 lifelong excitement. We walk on glaciers, through villages to explore the real life of those living at footsteps of mighty glaciers, along the irrigated terraced fields with the impressive view of the Karakoram Mountains from summit of Peak (5098 Rush Meters). The second part of the stunning trek goes along the Batura Glaciers. Patungdass is a summer pasture at an altitude of 4200m on the ridge between the Passu and Batura Glaciers with spectacular views. The fascinating view of Passu Peak 7284m, Batura Peak 7500m, Shishper 7619m, Dasteghil Sar 7885, Momhil Sar 7342 and Rakaposhi 7788m, are all around you. The trek starts at Borit Lake and goes through Passugar, Luzdar, and Patungdass along the glaciers, easy short trek which does not require any experience. |
