Rash Lake, also known as Rash Phari which translates to sparkling lake, is a highly recommended trek for beginners seeking an unforgettable adventure. This trek offers a first-time experience filled with lifelong excitement. Trekking through glaciers and villages, you’ll witness the authentic lifestyle of those residing at the base of mighty glaciers. The route passes by irrigated terraced fields, offering impressive views of the majestic Karakoram Mountains from the summit of Rush Peak at 5098m. Rash Lake serves as the confluence point of two renowned glaciers, Barpu and Bualter. Local legends even speak of the genders of these glaciers, depicting them as male and female, and narrate stories of their union giving birth to new glaciers.
Our trek commences from Hoper, a picturesque valley adorned with lush green fields and fruit orchards. Hoper is renowned for its potato seeds, which are exported to various parts of Pakistan, especially the Northern Areas. For those with sufficient skill, Push Peak offers an additional climbing opportunity along the trek route.
