Amazing Rakaposhi (7 788 meters above sea level) dominates the Hunza Valley, which exceeds nearly six kilometers in height. Because it is not an eight-thousand-meter peak, it is not very popular among climbers. Even so, it falls into the top thirty highest mountains in the world. If you are not satisfied with the beautiful view of it from Karimabad, for example, you can go on short treks leading to the base camp on its hillside.
