Bublimoting a 1000m Sheer pinnacle of black granite stands in the Ultar Nalla of central Hunza. It is named after an unfortunate Hunza princess Bubuli. The local legend says that her husband king Kiser, a mythical ruler of Tibet seated Bubuli on the granite spire with bag of millet and a cockerel while himself retuned to Tibet. He advised her to give the cockerel one grain a year. He would return when the grain is finished.
The approach to the spire starts from the west side of the famous Baltit Fort. Following the channel behind the fort we will reach the headwork's of the channel. After that it is steep ascending up a rocky ravine to the end of Glacier. From the base camp the view of Ultar Peak (7388m) is superb.
