Diran Peak Expedition – An Elite Karakoram Adventure
Experience a high-altitude journey with expert guides, personalized support, and stunning panoramic views of the pristine Karakoram mountains.
The Rakaposhi-Haramosh Range in the western Karakoram contains Diran. Although it has a reputation for avalanches, Diran, which appears as a gentle pyramid when seen from the Hunza Valley, is regarded as the second-easiest 7000-meter summit in the Karakoram after Spantik. The Hunza Valley is the location of the Karakoram Highway, which provides quick access to the mountain.
From Hunza, up the north face and west ridge, the first assault on Diran was made. Two climbers vanished at the summit of the peak. Before the peak was initially scaled by Austrians Rainer Goschl, Rudolf Pischinger, and Hanns Schell in 1968 using the north face route, two additional trips failed. Since then, a number of expeditions have attempted to climb this route, more have failed, and a good number have succeeded.
