The Barah valley near Khaplu leads to Barah Broq, high pastures with one of the finest views of K2 and the Baltoro giants. The trek ends on Moses Peak (5,350 m), a non technical summit with K2, Broad Peak, the Gasherbrums and Masherbrum on the horizon. It is an open zone with no glacier travel and no permit needed, perfect for people who want to see K2 in a short time.
