Chalt across Hunza river and snow-capped peaks in the background leading to Hachindar Chhish.

The basecamp of Hachindar Chhish can be reached through a sub-valley of Chalt Valley called Baltar or can be approached from Ali Abad through Muchuhar Valley.

The Batura peaks are behind Hachindar Chhish but are not visible from here.

fabulous trip sir,

It has been a long dream of mine to visit the place since the time when i saw the lake's picture on a calender...bravo

aesiege (aesiege) 2013-09-09 19:50:01 +0500 #119

Thx a lot Imran bhai

Thx a lot Adeel

Thx a lot Asif bro

Rakaposhi was a bit job incomplete as i couldn't see the complete peak. All shots are under clouds on this tour

Rush Lake is an epic place !!!!

The initial trek is very boring, rough and not beautiful at all. But as u climb up the first mountain, the views change all together

The highlight and most rewarding is the lake and its surroundings .... Top of the World

Another shot before we resumed journey towards Rakaposhi View Point
