Mirshikar is a trekking peak offering superb views of the entire Hunza Valley and some of the lower parts of Nagar. We cross the Diran Glacier from the top end of the meadow at Tagafari, where the lateral moraine meets Rakaposhi Flanks. Kacheli is another grassy meadow with flower, which is at its best in June and July, offering superb views of Rakaposhi. From Kacheli to Kacheli Lake the trek is steep affording a gain of around 500m which is Mirshikar's Base Camp.
