One of the most rewarding short treks in the Karakoram — through canal-side forest and wildflower switchbacks to a base-camp meadow facing Rakaposhi's towering 7,788 m peak, followed by Hunza's forts, Attabad Lake and Khunjerab Pass.
Every altitude below is pulled straight from this trip's real itinerary — drawn, not decorative.
