Rush
Lake
is
located
in
the
Hoper
Village
of
the
former
state
of
Nagar
Valley,
which
is
now
a
sub-division
located
in
the
Hunza-Nagar
district
of
Gilgit-Baltistan.
Situated
around
4,500
meters
above
sea
level,
Rush
Lake
is
one
of
the
most
beautiful
water
bodies
found
in
Pakistan.
It
is
believed
to
be
among
the
highest
alpine
lakes
of
the
country.
The
towering
Miar
Peak
and
Spantik
(Golden
Peak)
are
located
at
a
distance
of
not
more
than
15
kilometers
from
the
lake.
Rush
Peak
is
a
mountain
in
the
Karakoram
mountain
range
of
Central
Asia.
It
is
located
in
the
Nagar
District
of
Gilgit-Baltistan,
Pakistan.
While
not
a
high
peak
by
local
standards,
it
is
noteworthy
as
a
remote
trekking
destination.
It
can
be
reached
via
Nagar
Valley
and
Hoper
Village.
The
peak
can
be
accessed
via
Hoper
Glacier
(Bualtar
Glacier)
and
Barpu
Glacier.
The
peak
is
relatively
easy
to
climb
in
the
summer
months
and
ascents
have
been
made
by
amateur
climbers
without
proper
mountaineering
gear.
In
winter,
access
to
the
mountain
is
made
difficult
by
heavy
snows.
The
top
of
the
peak
provides
stunning
views
of
Miar
Peak
(6,824
m),
Miar
Glacier
and
Phuparash
Peak
(6,574
m).
On
a
clear
day,
one
can
look
east
and
see
some
of
the
world's
highest
mountains,
including
K2
and
Broad
Peak.
At
the
mountain's
base
lies
one
of
the
world's
highest
alpine
lakes,
Rush
Lake
(4,694m).
