The Rakaposhi Base Camp Trek

One more beautiful yet intense two-day hike done. Why though? Mainly cause of the brutal heat … oh, and let’s not forget about the 1700-meter incline. Views were epic but the heat was really challenging. Note to ourself: never ever start a hike that late. But we made it, reached Rakaposhi Basecamp and enjoyed the view over Minapin Glacier, which lies at the base of Rakaposhi (7788m) and Diran Peak (7266m), two of the most epic mountains in the Karakoram Range.
