Ultar is a towering peak in the Karakoram range, rising above Karimabad in Hunza. Its sheer south face is a prominent landmark, drawing trekkers and mountaineers for multi-day expeditions. The trek to Ultar Meadow offers glimpses of glaciers, alpine flora, and panoramic vistas of surrounding peaks like Rakaposhi. Visitors often camp at the meadow, experiencing the raw beauty of the high-altitude landscape. The route is non-technical but demanding, requiring good fitness and acclimatization.
