K7, also known as Kapura Peak, is a towering monster at the start of this climb that soars to an astonishing 6,934 meters (22,749 feet) in height.

The imposing prominence of K7 and its spires here offer trekkers a breathtaking backdrop to marvel at.
This trek’s highlight is the picturesque grandeur of the Charakusa Valley, which has untainted glaciers, rough terrain, and lush meadows. The region is allured by K7’s distinctive silhouette, which boasts majestic spires and provides a visual feast at every turn. Along with the natural beauty, Hushe Village offers trekkers the chance to interact with the locals and become immersed in the distinctive customs and way of life of the Balti people.
