Marsur Rock

Marsur Rock (or Hussainabad Slab ) is an amazing rock located in Hussainabad valley near Skardu city, Gilgit Baltistan. The Marsur rock has a resemblance to the famous Trolltunga Rock Norway.. Reviewers describe the trek as a moderate, steep uphill hike (around 4-6 hours) through rocky terrain, challenging but rewarding, offering iconic photo opportunities from its narrow, tilting summit, making it a must-do adventure for trekkers despite the effort. 

Key Highlights from Reviews:

• Breathtaking Vistas: The main draw is the sweeping 360-degree panorama, a stunning mix of desert, greenery, and mountains.
• Iconic Photo Spot: It’s famous for the dramatic photo where people sit on the tilted rock, though caution is advised due to the height and uneven surface.
• Trekking Experience: Expect a challenging but manageable steep ascent
• Accessibility: Reached via a winding road with the trek starting from Upper Hussainabad Broq.
• Logistics: No permit is needed, but bringing a tripod for photos and potentially a guide (or just being careful) is recommended. 

Tips from Reviewers:

• Go Slow: Take your time on the steep uphill sections.
• Be Prepared: Even in warmer months, higher altitudes can be cold (bring layers/jackets). Take Enough Water & Dry fruit During Trekking
• Manage Expectations: Some describe it as an “unexpected adventure,” so be ready for the journey, not just the destination.
