Overview
This trek leads to the base of the massive Rupal Face, considered the highest mountain wall in the world, with a 4,600-meter vertical rise from base to summit. The route follows the lush and tranquil Rupal Valley, offering stunning and intimate views of the "Killer Mountain" from its southern side. It is a demanding but rewarding journey for experienced trekkers, especially since it is less frequented by tourists than the more popular Fairy Meadows trek.
