Route:

Kapura Peak offers two primary routes for trekkers and climbers:

1.    SW Ridge Route: The South West Ridge is a popular choice for its technical challenges, including mixed terrain with rock, ice, and snow. Climbers may encounter difficulties up to M4 and steep ice slopes of up to 70°. This route offers breathtaking views.

2.    Charakusa Side Route: This route, from the Charakusa side, was the site of the first successful ascent in 2004. It involves a mix of rock and ice climbing. While less technically demanding than the SW Ridge, it provides a unique experience in the Karakoram.
