Rush Lake Trek is one of the most specialized treks in Pakistan includes Rash Phari Trek in the Karakoram. Rash Phari means sparkling Lake. It is one of the most recommended treks for those who want to have a first time trekking experience with a life long excitement.

It is the junction of two famous glaciers of Barpu and Bualter. It is interesting that local legends talk about the gender of these glaciers of being male and female and also about their meetings and birth of the new glaciers.
