Karamber Lake Trek

Published in Trekking

The Karambar Glacier lies at the northern limit of the Ishkoman Valley with the surrounding mountains forming the extreme western boundary of the Karakoram Range. The whole region has received little attention in comparison with the widely

travelledeastern Karakoram, and was chosen for its new route potential on sub 6000m peaks.Access via the Ishkoman Valley was made difficult by widespread seasonal flooding, but a fine base camp was established in a small ablation valley adjacent to the true right bank of the main Karambar Glacier. From here two weeks of exploration and reconnaissance ensued, the result of which was a decision to concentrate on the peaks at the head of the Kutshkulin Glacier that runs north from the Karambar itself. Using information gained from two acclimatisation climbs above the Kutshkulin Glacier, a peak subsequently found to be Kutshkulin Sar (5900m), was finally attempted.
