Up close with Ultar Glacier, we could hear avalanches higher up on the mountain
Ice walls on the moraine
This was as far as we could go, going any further would risk falling into a crevasse

I am getting a sunburn!
Autumn in Hunza is beautiful
Cairns mark the trail to Ultar Meadow, Diran & Rakaposhi behind
The easy part of the trail went along a water channel, to the left is a sheer cliff
See the cliff?
