Rush Lake Trek

Rush Lake is a high altitude lake located in Nagar Valley , Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan near Rush Pari Peak, 5,098 m (16,726 ft). At 4,694 meters, Rush is one of the highest alpine lakes in the world. It is located about 15 km (9 mi) north of Miar Peak and Spantik(Golden Peak), which are in the Nagar valley. Rush Lake and Rush Peak can be reached via Nagar and Hopar and via the Hopar Glacier (Bualtar Glacier) and Miar Glacier, which rises from Miar and Phuparash peaks. The trek to Rush Lake provides spectacular views of Spantik, Malubiting, Miar Peak, Phuparash Peak and Ultar Sar.

Rush Lake is 4694 meters, looking towards Malubiting Peak, left, and Miar Peak glacier. While the distinction of being the Highest Lake in Pakistan had always charmed me from achievement pov, I had heard about the beauty of this place too. But I could never actually put this plan into reality as it required 8-9 days for a round trip ( a sad reality for mountain enthusiasts living in Lahore/south Pakistan).

But a sacrifice never goes wasted. Believe me this place, not this place rather this whole trip from Hopar to lake and back will overwhelm you. Considering you’ve been on KKH before.

The aura of being surrounded by 7000m peaks, the feeling of actually seeing all those BIG MOUNTAINS that you read about in textbooks, fear/adrenaline induced when crossing the fastest moving glacier of Pakistan, dehydration and fatigue caused by continuous trekking in a dry, hot and barren land, and chilly cold nights in one of the most silent and serene neighbourhoods. This all mixed will surely leave a mark on your mind.

Should I book pre/post tour accommodation?

Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia.

It is a paradisematic country, in which roasted parts of sentences fly into your mouth. Even the all-powerful Pointing has no control about the blind texts it is an almost unorthographic life One day however.
