Diran trek – Pakistan
Diran is placed between Rakaposhi and Haramosh Massif of Karakoram Range, one of the most beautiful mountains in Nagar valley above Minapin Village. In 1968 three members of Austrian Expedition first climbed Diran. They found Hidden crevasses and high snow Domes on the Northwest Ridge. Since then dozens of expeditions have attempted Diran with some success yet many returning without luck. Due to avalanche dangers Diran is pretty treacherous mountain thought giving a very soft look from afar. Diran is accessible both from south via Bagrot Valley and from north from Minapin Village through the pasture land along beautiful meadows with extraordinary views of the green land of Nagar valley. Most common route is up the north face that leads to the shoulder with easy gradients but quite treacherous faces after a new snow fall as the faces are avalanche prone. The stunning south face has also been attempted by many expeditions and few have been lucky to get up the mountain. From south BC we have views of stunning south faces of Rakaposhi, Diran, lovely twin summits of Bilchar Dobani, Phuparash, Malubiting and Haramosh Peak.
