Drifika Expedition
Mount Drifika also know as Drefekal Peak, which is a 6,447-meter (21,161-foot) peak located in the Karakoram Range of Pakistan. The expedition typically involves a multi-day trek to the base of the mountain, followed by several days of climbing to reach the summit.
Mount Drifika is a challenging peak to climb, with steep snow and ice slopes, high altitude, and unpredictable weather conditions. As such, the expedition requires a high level of physical fitness, technical climbing skills, and experience in high-altitude mountaineering.
