K7 peak Expedition (6934m)

K7 (Charakusa valley) is offered for marvelous rock and ice climbing peaks and it has very easy access. This valley lies at the head of the Hushe valley. K7 valley (Charakhusa valley) is a small valley that is surrounded by the jagged spire mountains just like K6 (7281m), K7 (6934m), Mingling Sar (7041m) Drifika (6650m), Kapura peak (6545m). The most amazing alpine climbing in the area can be practice on the spot. Most of the peaks are less than 6500m high; consequently, numerous peaks at this altitude offer the best technical climbing conditions you will ever meet..

The Charakusa k7  Valley offers climbers and trekkers a unique and diverse experience, boasting both wild rock towers in its lower regions and jaw-dropping alpine challenges in the upper areas — all accessible from a single base camp. This accessibility allows climbers to explore multiple objectives without relocating the camp.

 

Geographic Highlights Lower Charakusa Valley

Surrounded by significant peaks, the north side features Sulu (ca 5950m), Beatrice (5800m), and Naisa Brakk (5200m), all of which can be tackled as day trips from the base camp.
On the south side, peaks like Fathi Brakk, Haji Brakk (5950m), and Farhad Brakk (ca 5300m) present more logistical challenges due to their greater distances from the base camp.
Climbing Dynamics: The north faces offer serious rock challenges, demanding technical rock climbing skills.
The south faces are gentler, making for easier approaches and ascents.
Upper Charakusa Glacier Peaks The main attraction in this region lies in the high peaks around the upper glacier, notably K7 West, K7, Link Sar, Hassan, K6, K6 West, and Kapura.In recent years, K6 and K7 have gained prominence, drawing the attention of elite climbers eager to test their skills on challenging rock and ice formations.
Charakusa Valley serves as a prime training and adventure ground for mountaineering enthusiasts and professional climbers, combining technical rock challenges with stunning alpine landscapes.
