Tour Overview
Rakaposhi peak (7788m) 27th highest peak in the world, and Diran peak 7266 meters, are located in the Karakoram Range, and one of the most beautiful, easy and accessible to any other mountain peaks in the Karakoram. Rakaposhi peak is the only mountain on earth that plummets directly, uninterrupted, for almost 6,000 meters from the summit to its board base which measures almost 20 kilometers east to west. Starting in 1938, a number of attempts were made to conquer Rakaposhi. In 1958 the first successful ascent was made by a British- Pakistan expedition, with Mike Banks and Tom Patey (British Royal Navy) reaching the summit via its south- west ridge going around the prominent Monk’s Head. Captain Sher Khan Leader of the 1979 Pak- Polish international expedition was the first Pakistani to summit the mountain on 1st of July 1979, traversing the most difficult north-west ridge. The lush and green meadows and ablation valleys around this mountain range offers a thrilling adventure for the nature lovers.
