Overview – Makra Peak Climbing Expedition
The Makra Peak Expedition is an exciting adventure in the picturesque Mansehra District of Pakistan’s Hazara area. Makra Peak, at 3885 meters (12,746 feet), is known for its breathtaking beauty and hard hiking chances. The expedition begins in Siri Paye Meadows when climbers embark on a 4 to 8-hour hike to the peak. The path has variable degrees of difficulty, owing to snow cover, which presents problems, particularly during the winter months. Climbers, on the other hand, can manage the terrain with good coordination and strategy. During the summer, the temperature is often cool and ideal for climbers with appropriate physical fitness. The excursion promises amazing vistas of the surrounding Himalayan environment, making it an unforgettable journey for anyone seeking both natural beauty and physical challenge.
