SILVER VIEW TREK
NANGA PARBAT RUPAL VALLEY TREK
Grade: Easy
Rupal meaning silvery in Shina, is the name of last village facing southern side of Nanga Parbat. Village so named for Nanga Parbat looks like a silver wall in the moonlight. South face of Nanga Parbat is one of the great sheer walls in the world.
We start our venture by jeep on the historic route between Gilgit and Kashmir through Astore Valley to Tarishing village. Here we hire porters and in the next two days, we pass through the beautiful pine villages of Rupal under the awe-inspiring views of Chongra (6828 m) and Raikot peaks (7074 m) and cross Chumphere and Bezhin glaciers to reach the lush green pine meadow at Herlig Koffer Base Camp. Trek onward to Latoba, the traditional Base Camp of Nanga Parbat with spectacular views of Rupal Peak (5971 m). After a day spending at leisure, we will return back to Tarishing and then by jeep to Gilgit (or continue for a week around Nanga Parbat over Mazeno Pass 5377 m). As the next phase of the trip visit Hunza Valley before returning back.
