Bularung Sar, Mountain summit in Hunza District, Pakistan.
Bularung Sar is a mountain summit in the Hispar Mustagh range, located between two neighboring peaks in the heart of this snow-covered massif. The peak rises to 7,134 meters and is surrounded by steep, icy slopes that define its character.
The first successful climb took place in July 1990 when members of the Swiss Alpine Club Neuchâtel Section reached the summit. This achievement marked an important moment in the mountaineering history of the Hispar Mustagh region.
The mountain resides near the Hunza Valley, where local inhabitants known as Hunzakuts maintain traditional agricultural practices and cultivate apricot orchards.
Visitors must prepare for extended trekking routes across glacier fields and should hire local porters to transport equipment from nearby villages. Altitude acclimatization and good physical fitness are essential for this challenging route.
The route to the summit requires crossing a distinctive granite tower rising about 200 meters near the base of the climb. The path then continues over multiple hanging glaciers before reaching the final summit ridge.
