Ultar Meadow, Karimabad, NA of Pakistan

Posted by skynet (Johor Bahru, Malaysia) on 26 June 2008 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

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.
