Overview – Malika Parbat Climbing Expedition
Climbing Malika Parbat, the highest peak in Pakistan’s Kaghan Valley, provides an amazing journey surrounded by breathtaking Himalayan beauty. Malika Parbat, which rises magnificently to 5,290 meters (17,360 feet), offers a hard task with three unique summits: the North Peak, Cresta, and South Peak. Each summit has distinct technical difficulties, making it intriguing to experienced climbers looking for new routes and challenges.
The trip usually begins at Naran or Batakundi, which serve as starting sites for the hike up the peak. Trekkers departing from Naran pass via the famed Lake Saiful Muluk, which is recognized for its scenic beauty and quiet environs. Climbers trek towards Malika Parbat over a variety of scenery, from lush green valleys to severe alpine territory, finally arriving at carefully placed base camps for summit attempts.
The path from Naran to Malika Peak requires both physical stamina and technical climbing ability as it winds through valleys and ascends high peaks. The approach from Batakundi provides an alternate route across the Dadar Chitta glacier, which has its own set of obstacles amidst spectacular glacial vistas. Throughout the adventure, climbers are rewarded with panoramic vistas of the Kaghan Valley and neighboring peaks, with glimpses of the famed Ansoo Lake and other natural treasures. The climb itself necessitates meticulous planning, acclimatization, and preparation for high-altitude conditions to ensure safety and success in reaching the summit.
A successful ascent of Malika Peak provides climbers with not only a sense of accomplishment but also memorable memories of climbing one of Pakistan’s greatest peaks while immersed in the breathtaking grandeur of the Himalayas.
