Ultar Sar is 7,388 meters (24,239 feet) high and is one of the most impressive and challenging peaks in the Karakoram Range of Pakistan.
Ultar Sar is located above Karimabad, Hunza Valley, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan, in the Batura Muztagh sub-range of the Karakoram Mountains.
Ultar Sar is famous for its dramatic location above Hunza Valley, steep technical routes, and challenging climbing history. It is considered one of the most demanding 7000m peaks in Pakistan.
The first successful ascent of Ultar Sar was achieved in 1996 by Japanese climbers Akito Yamazaki and Kiyoshi Matsuoka.
The best season for climbing Ultar Sar is generally from June to September, when weather and climbing conditions are more suitable in the Karakoram region.
Ultar Sar is considered a technical and challenging 7000-meter peak. Climbers need advanced mountaineering skills, previous high-altitude experience, glacier travel knowledge, and strong physical preparation.
A complete Ultar Sar Expedition usually takes around 40–45 days, including arrival in Pakistan, acclimatization, approach trek, base camp setup, climbing period, and return.
Climbers should have experience on 6000m–7000m peaks, knowledge of ice and rock climbing techniques, rope skills, glacier travel, and previous expedition experience.
The expedition starts from Islamabad, followed by travel to Hunza Valley. From Karimabad, the team follows the trekking route toward Ultar Sar Base Camp through spectacular mountain landscapes.
