Here are some photo's of our trek to Rush Phari Peak (5100m). It was a great time had by all. Thanks to Raji and Tehseen for keeping us well informed and fed, helping prevent a mutinee from Steenazir.
Making the summit was obviously great, but the camping at Bidin Sarai- a meadow nestled into the ridge 600m beneath the summit- where we spent 2 nights, was probably the highlight.
We were spoilt with good, clear and warm weather. The odd cloud on summit day added alot of atmospherics to the view. The evening before we walked back to Hoper village (our starting point) a healthy 6 inches of snow had fallen where we had camped the night before (the Bidin Sarai), something we were fortunate to avoid but more so our guides who didn't have a fly on their tent(!).
