A climb to the beautiful Ultar icefall with its amphitheatre of peaks including the 6000m pinnacle, Bubulimating, or Lady Finger, will give you an appreciation for the vertical lie of the land. This can be a strenuous day trip or an easier overnight one. Remember to carry water! Some people hire a local guide for around Rs500 per day: useful but not essential. But going alone is not recommended; several solo hikers have disappeared and others have been injured.
