Rakaposhi:
Mother of Mist
Rakaposhi |
One
of the greatest manifestations of mountain splendor, there also stands a famous
peak of Rakaposhi in Hunza valley. The Rakaposhi at the south-western corner of
Karakoram. It is dominating the skyline for immense stretches. The mountain is extremely
wide almost 20km from East to West. It is the only one peak on Earth which falls
constant for 6000m from the summit to the base. Rakaposhi also had known the Pk
27/42L and Dumani (Mother of Mist). The centered place of peak in Hunza valley attracts
many climbers but rather few attempted the summit. That is the reason for the
fame of Rakaposhi who visit this area. All routes to Rakaposhi tops are long
and difficult. The Western routes are lengthy, northern routes are lofty and
technically complicated, and southern and eastern routes are hazardously plain
due to storm risk. After six futile missions the peak was first climbed via SW
spur in 1985 by British-Pakistani forces Himalayan Expedition. Six camps and
high altitude porters made the journey successful.
It
is one of the superb peaks in the world. The peak governs the sphere that’s why
constantly clear from the Karakorum highway even, the first glance of the
mountain is so attractive and amazing that it charms the dwelling. It is surrounded
with the famous glacier valleys, like, Biro, Barpu, Bagrot and Pissan.

The
clear weather can transform quickly into a heavy rain so often the ascents
weather can be harsh and life threatening at times. The Karakoram receives a
high level of rainfall in the winter which makes climbing very dense and dangerous.
So the climber only can make the summer ascent.
For
itneray the domestic travelers they just have to take flights to Islamabad. Islamabad
is the closest international center with flights arriving from all around the
world. So for international one first take cheap flights to Pakistan and move
your journey toward Gilgit the largest town in the Northern Areas served by
regular transportation services.
