Naiza Peak / Nisar peak, located in the Hushe Valley of Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan, is an exciting and lesser-known destination for rock climbing. Standing at an elevation of approximately 5,350 meters (17,552 feet), Naiza Peak offers mountaineers and climbers an excellent opportunity to challenge their skills on a beautiful, rugged peak in the Karakoram Range.
