About This Trek
Starting from Barah village near Skardu, this trek climbs through high pasture to Barah Broq camp before a final scramble to Moses Peak at 5,300m. The summit is one of the rare points in the Karakoram where both K2 and Nanga Parbat are visible in the same panorama.
Good fitness and some scrambling comfort are required for the final push to Moses Peak, but no technical climbing equipment. This is a serious trekking objective for travellers wanting a genuine high-altitude challenge without a full expedition.
