Drifika was first climbed by a Japanese expedition back in 1978, it homes in beautiful Charakusa Valley which homes to many small peaks and rock climbs. The views of K2, dream of mountain of climbers, Broad Peak, Gasherbrum I and II, peaks can be seen from higher camps on the peak. It is a challenging peak, even for experienced climbers, it offers a considerably higher difficulty as compare to many other Karakoram Peaks.
