About This Adventure Destination

Makra Peak soars gracefully in the Kaghan Valley, offering breathtaking vistas of rolling hills and snow-capped peaks. Famous for its distinct, pyramidal shape, Makra Peak is a stunning feature of the Hindu Kush mountains. Visitors are drawn to its unique combination of lush green meadows and challenging elevation, providing a rewarding experience for hiking enthusiasts. The peak is named 'Makra', meaning 'spider', due to the cloud patterns often seen drifting around its summit. This magnificent destination not only attracts adventurers but also those seeking serene landscapes and the calming presence of nature. In summer, the greenery is refreshing, while winter blankets the peak in pristine snow, making it a year-round marvel. Given its relatively low elevation of 3,885 meters compared to other peaks in the region, it presents an accessible yet thrilling challenge for trekkers. Historically, Makra Peak has been a site of local legend, with tales of mystical apparitions that captivate those who journey there. Whether you're there for the captivating folklore or to conquer the climb, Makra Peak remains a top spot for outdoor activity in Pakistan.

Makra Peaks sits at 12750 feet above the sea level. It is accessible from Paya Meadows near Shogran & Muzaffarabad, Azad Kashmir. It's only 36 Kilometers from Azad Kashmir but, the summit route consists of lushgreen meadows & snow springs. The popular tracking route is accessing the Peak via Paya Meadows. It might take 2-3 hours depending on the time spent in resting. Bring water & edibles with you since there's nothing such facility to cater you. Malaka Parbat, Musa Ka Musalla, and other Peaks in Kashmir & Kaghan valley are clearly visible if the weather supports.
