Rakaposhi Trek & Karakoram Highway
The
Minapin glacier sweeps down from the 16th
km – long fluted snowy ridge that connects Rakaposhi
(7788M) and Diran (7265 M). Minapin village in Upper
Nagar sits along the Minapin River’s true right
(east) bank above the confluence of the Minapin and
Hunza rivers. The excellent short trek from Minapin
village to Rakaposhi Base Camp, known locally as Taga
Phari, is an ideal introduction to Karakoram
trekking. Easily accessible from the KKH, the trek
follows a good trail and offers sweeping vistas of Rakaposhi and Diran and is the standard route to the
base camp for both peaks. Trekkers in top physical
condition visit Taga Phari on day hike from Minapin
village but most trekkers find that dividing the
1250 meter accent into two days lets them enjoy the
trek’s many pleasures.
