Rush Peak

Rush Peak rises to an elevation of 5,094 meters at the intersection of Barpu and Bualter glaciers in the Karakoram mountain range.

The mountain remained largely unexplored until recent decades, when mountaineers began documenting routes through the Nagar Valley and Hoper Village.

The surrounding glaciers hold significance in local folklore, with residents attributing human characteristics to these ice formations through generations of storytelling.

Visitors need permits and local guides to access Rush Peak, with summer offering optimal climbing conditions for both amateur and experienced mountaineers.

The summit provides views of numerous peaks exceeding 6,000 meters, including Miar Peak and Phuparash Peak in the Greater Himalaya range.
