Hello.

Another inspiring thread for those who want to start trekking, especially for beginners, is the trekking route with million-dollar views in Pakistan.

"Rush Pari Lake"

Or, in short, Rush Lake. I reviewed it last year, but this year I went again with new trekkers, none of whom had ever trekked before. And there was a 50-year-old who also went...

It all comes down to "heart".

This trip, as mentioned earlier, has never been trekked by anyone before, but we wanted to trek it.... And we were determined to trek it. That alone is the answer: we can definitely do it.

+ Ms. Ae is a strong woman. Can you believe she's 50 years old? But her "heart is overflowing".

+ P'Por has never dropped a class or been late. At the age of 46, he came with a "desire to try".

+ Toon and Boy, a duo who want to "do something they've never done before."

+ At & Mi are also adventurous and want to "try something new", which means they want to try a natural bathroom...

However, I have never heard the question "Can I/you walk?" from my fellow travelers. They simply contact me and express their desire to go, and their answer is always a clear "yes".

All of this is from a review I saw last year when I traveled with June. We wanted to come here…

The following is a translation of the provided text from Thai to English:

However, when I come back, there will probably be some complaints about June. No, not complaints, but rather…mentions.

(A link to last year's content will be provided at the end.)

The provided text is an empty paragraph containing only a line break. As there is no actual content to translate, I cannot provide a translation in this instance.

Please provide a sentence or phrase for me to translate.

Why trek in Pakistan? Why not Nepal or India?


+ Not because Nepal or India are not worth visiting. Travelers want to go everywhere. Haha. 55+

+ I want to go to a place where not many people go because the nature is still raw.

+ Areas with limited access to development, lacking basic amenities such as restrooms, accommodation, and electricity.

+ Bring your own tent, food for the entire trip, and drinking water from natural sources.

+ As some members of the trekking group have no prior trekking experience, it is advisable to hire personal porters to assist with carrying some of their personal belongings.

Take only what you can carry, including essential personal belongings.


Let's dive in together.


Please provide a shortcut to skip to the start of the trek, as the regular trip has already been reviewed and we don't want to repeat ourselves.


Day 1: Bangkok to Islamabad

By the same old purple aunt, the only one with 19.00 - 22.00 direct entry to the school. Go to sleep in Rawalpindi, the old city, which is located in the district adjacent to Islamabad (the new city).




Day 2: Rawalpindi - Gilgit

(Please note that I cannot translate the HTML code provided. I can only translate the text within the code.)


A long drive from Rawalpindi, passing through Barbusar Pass, leads to Gilgit in 11-12 hours. An overnight stay in Gilgit is recommended.




Day 3: Gilgit to Hopper Village


Before embarking on their trek, they stocked up on supplies for the next day and spent the night at Hopper Village, preparing for an early morning departure.



Prepare your heart for tomorrow's path. ^^

For visualization purposes, here is a rough map based on the tracked route. (Credit: Map from Google Maps)


Day 4: Trekking Day 1 (Hopper Village - Badicocor)


Distance: 14 km / Duration: 5-6 hours / Elevation Gain: 773 m / Elevation Loss: 325 m



Embark on a journey from Hopper Village (approx. 2,800 m) traversing two glaciers.

Bualtar Glacier (Hopper Glacier) and Barpu Glacier

The first glacier passed... head down, eyes on the trek ^^

We have arrived at the first camp... It's either a place to rest or a test of our resilience. The path ahead is completely obscured. (We can't see anything!)

The dark moonlit night... The Milky Way is so clear.


Day 5: Trekking Day 2 (Badicocor - Rush Lake)


Distance: 10 km, Duration: 8-9 hours, Elevation Gain: 1,458 m, Elevation Loss: 38 m.



Another day of steep climbs, my legs are definitely going to be sore...

Ascend from 3,200 m to 4,600 m at Rush Lake.

This caused some confusion among the members of the trip (or did it?).



Despite taking numerous photos, they showed no signs of fatigue. 55+



We have arrived at the rest point! But the journey is not over yet, as we have ascended 1,100 meters in 4 hours from the glacier below on the right side.

This is equivalent to a building with approximately 360 floors or more.

This angle is similar to Old Man Storr in Scotland, but I haven't been there yet. 55+

Here is the translation of the text:

The weather was bad today. It rained on the way to Rush Lake, and it was very, very cold.

The air started to improve around 7 pm, but it rained heavily all night long.

I understand that you want me to translate the following sentence:

However, I am unable to translate this sentence as it is not a complete sentence. It is simply an HTML tag.

If you would like me to translate a different sentence, please provide me with the complete sentence.

Day 6: Rest Day (Trekking Day 3)


Today, we set up camp and rested at Rush Lake, which is located at an altitude of 4,600 meters. The high altitude caused many people to sleep soundly.



Waking up to a view of the other side...a long glacier.

When the peddler no longer walks, the entertainment industry arrives... idleness is not an option.

The weather is getting better and better in the late morning. The sun is starting to show.

But...the sun didn't last long...

The sunlight managed to penetrate through.

Ascend further to an altitude of 4,9xx m to reach a viewpoint offering a view of Rush Peak, 5,0xx m, on the right.

Rush Peak (5,098m)


Day 7: Trek to Fayfari from Rush Lake.


(4.5 km, elevation gain/loss 1,100 m)



It's time to leave Rush Lake after two nights of camping… but the views along the way are amazing…

Where is the path...?

Wildflowers bloom abundantly along the path during this season...

The grandeur of nature...it truly makes us feel insignificant.


Day 8: Trekking Day 5 (Fayfari 3,400m.atl. - Hamdar 3,200m. alt.)


(4.5 km, elevation gain/loss 1,100 m)



Today's highlight is crossing the glass glaciers, both Black Glacier and White Glacier.

The view at Fayfari campsite last night... The sky was so clear! What is this!!!!

Warm up with Black Glacier

Next, White Glacier

A mix of both tourists and porters.

Despite the altitude of 3,300-3,400 meters, everyone seemed to have forgotten their fatigue.



The two-hour wait to cross the bridge was worth it for the amazing photo opportunities.

Although we have crossed over... it's not over yet... 55+

Continuing along the cliff edge...



Watch the video


And it's not over yet…

...and then cross the stream where the ice has melted...

And…

We have arrived at our accommodation for the night.

This question should be directed to Mr. Aeh. How do you feel after arriving at....

New Zealand scenery... but the sheep aren't white! 55+

The Milky Way is a must-see, visible every day and perfectly aligned with Golden Peak.

It's time to sleep comfortably without being too cold. I've endured the cold for many nights.


Day 9: Trekking Day 6 (Hamdar 3,200m. alt. - Hopper Village 2,800m.)


(Approximately 8km, Gain 200m, Loss 700m)



Woke up later than usual today… feeling relaxed as I'm nearing Hopper Village.

The view from the tent is amazing.

Simple home-style dining ... but with million-dollar views ...

We finally arrived back at Hopper. He doesn't seem tired at all and definitely wants to keep going.

This trip summary is based on approximate information and may not be entirely accurate.

Total distance: 43.5km.

+++ Elevation gain: 2,631 m. (excluding the additional +300 m. to reach the Rush Peak viewpoint.)

+++ Loss 2,453 meters.

+++ Maximum elevation 4,694 m.

+++ Trek duration: 6 days 5 nights (excluding travel from Islamabad)

Thank you everyone, fellow trekkers, porters, and guides. This was a truly enjoyable trekking trip, filled with laughter and good times.

This trip was not easy, but with determination, you can reach your destination.



As many reviews have stated...



"Pakistan"

It may not be what you expected.

This country is better than I thought…

Don't judge too quickly… until you've experienced it yourself…

Photographs are just a part...but the feeling is different...



See you on the next trip.



Thank you to everyone who has followed this thread, and to Pantip for providing a platform for sharing information.
