Rakaposhi (7788m) is one of the most beautiful peak and the
world’s 29th highest mountain. It dominates the
horizon and watches over the Karakoram Highway as you travel
from Gilgit to Hunza. The peak is surrounded by famous glaciers
and valleys like Bagrot, Minapin and Jaglot.
There are several
approaches to Rakaposhi. Its Northwestern Peak (6858m) was first
reached by Campbell Secord and Vyvyan in 1938 via Jaglot route.
In 1958 a British – Pakistan Forces expedition led by Captain
Michael E. B. Bank attempted the peak through the north side of
the Kunti Glacier and what is known as Monk’s head. The leader
Captain Bank and Lieutenant T.W. Patey of the British Royal Navy
climbed the peak. The Ghulmet route is a hot and dry ascent up
the ridge between the Ghulmet and Pisan Glaciers.
The most scenic
approach to Rakaposhi BC is from Minapin to Tagafari and Kacheli.
This route goes through thick forests, pastures, and green
valleys. In this expedition we will take the Jaglot Nullah route
to the base camp for attempting the peak.
