Nagar Rakaposhi Tour

Discover the Nagar Rakaposhi Tour in the Nagar Valley of Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan, home to one of the most dramatic mountain views on earth. From the village of Minapin, the mighty Rakaposhi (7,788 m) rises almost 6,000 metres straight from the valley floor, and this short tour takes you from terraced apricot orchards to the meadows and viewpoints beneath its shining north wall.

Tour highlights: face-to-face views of Rakaposhi from Minapin, walks through traditional Nagar villages and terraced fields, a hike towards the Rakaposhi base camp viewpoints, the Karakoram Highway journey through the Hunza-Nagar valley, and local walnut and apricot orchards.

Day-wise itinerary:
Day 1: Drive from Gilgit (or Hunza) along the Karakoram Highway into Nagar Valley to Minapin village. Check in at the hotel, then walk through the village terraces with Rakaposhi filling the sky ahead. Watch the sunset turn the peak gold. Dinner and overnight in Minapin.
Day 2: Morning hike from Minapin towards the Rakaposhi viewpoint and base camp trail, as far as the group wishes, with grand views of the Minapin Glacier. Descend to the village, stop for lunch, and drive back to Gilgit (or Hunza) by evening.
