Rush Lake & Rush Pheri
About This Route
Rush Lake sits at roughly 4,694 metres above the Hopper valley in Nagar, making it one of the highest alpine lakes anywhere in the area. The ground above it at Rush Pheri opens onto a panorama over the Hopper and Barpu glaciers toward Spantik and the Malubiting group.
The trek is short in distance but gains height quickly, so it is better suited to people who have already spent a few days acclimatising rather than as a first outing off the plane.
