Rupal Glacier, Alpine glacier in Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan.
The Rupal Glacier extends from 3,730 meters to 6,300 meters in elevation, flowing northeastward through the Great Himalaya mountain range near Nanga Parbat.
The glacier formation dates back millions of years, shaped by continuous accumulation of snow and ice during geological periods of the Himalayas development.
Local communities in Gilgit-Baltistan have relied on the glacier's meltwater for generations, integrating its presence into their agricultural practices and daily routines.
Trekkers can access the glacier through a 37-kilometer route starting from Tarashing village, with the journey typically requiring five days of hiking.
The glacier serves as a water source for the Rupal River, positioned near the Rupal Face of Nanga Parbat, the largest mountain face in the world.
