Rush Lake Trek Pakistan is one of the most rewarding and scenic trekking tours in the heart of the Hunza Valley and Nagar region. This moderate adventure takes you deep into the spectacular Karakoram Mountains, crossing glaciers, alpine meadows, terraced fields and high mountain passes before reaching the breathtaking Rush Lake (4,700 m / 15,400 ft) — one of the highest alpine lakes in the world.
From nearby viewpoints, weather permitting, trekkers may enjoy panoramic views of K2, Spantik (Golden Peak), Ultar Sar, Diran Peak and other legendary Karakoram giants.
Your journey begins with a scenic drive along the legendary Karakoram Highway before reaching Hunza. From Hopar village, a jeep track leads to the trailhead where the adventure starts. You will trek across the impressive Barpu Glacier, camp in alpine pastures, and gradually ascend to Rush Lake.
Local Hunzakuts share fascinating legends about the glaciers — believed to be male and female — and their mystical origins.
