About the Expedition

Trek to the Base of Pakistan’s Most Iconic Peak

Rakaposhi (7,788 m) is one of the most visually stunning peaks in the Karakoram — a perfect pyramid rising dramatically above the Nagar Valley. The Rakaposhi Base Camp Expedition takes you through lush forests, glacial streams, and alpine meadows to reach Tagaphari and the base camp at the foot of this magnificent mountain.

With an optional high-point push to 4,700 m, possible summit attempts, and full logistical support from Ridakh Adventures, this 7-day expedition is ideal for mountaineers seeking a high-altitude challenge in one of Pakistan’s most breathtaking settings.
