Ultar Meadow, situated behind Baltit Ford that guards the entry into Ultar Glacier, is a plateau high in the mountains and has a good view of Lady Fingers Peak (Bubulimating), Hunza Peak, Ultar I, II and III and of course Ultar Glacier.
The way up to Ultar Meadow is exciting as you need to walk along the water channels built on the cliffs. You can see a young shepherd in red shirt standing beside the glacier at lower left with his sister. Background is the Karakoram range with the prominent dome shape Golden Peak.

@Mike: Thanks Mike! Glad you like the photos! I've just recently returned from a trip to Pakistan so am sharing some highlights here.
Superb view. Excellent control of exposure, featuring plenty of detail in both sky and shadow area.
