Musa ka Musalla (Urdu: موسیٰ کا مصلیٰ transl. Moses' mat) is a peak standing at an altitude of about 4,060 metres (13,320 ft) at the junction of Siran and Kaghan Valleys in Himalayas.[1] It is situated 150 kilometres (93 mi) north of the city of Abbottabad in Balakot Tehsil of Mansehra District.[2]
Etymology
The name Musa ka Musalla translates to Moses' mat. The legend has it that a shepherd named Musa used to pray there at the peak.[2] There is also a shrine at the top probably of the same shepherd who is revered to as a saint by locals.[1]
Routes
The peak is accessible via multiple routes in summers but all needs hours of trekking. [2]
Balakot to Nadi Bangla and Kund Bangla route
Paras to Sharran forest route
Shinkiari to Mandagucha route
Balakot to Nadi Bungalow to Sikkiyan Katha to Naaga Mosque to the ridge above Sarolian to Musa ka Musalla Basecamp Mosque (also called Danna Mosque) towards the peak. To go via this route, a jeep ride from Balakot takes you via Nadi Bungalow (crossing Kachal Katha) to a point (just under Maidan) above Sikkiyan Katha, where you can climb for 15 minutes and camp, or use Nakka Mosque as basecamp. It takes 1500+ meters (each) of ascent and descent from this point to reach the peak, and the trek is almost 7.5+ km long on each side. In favorable conditions, it takes almost 11+ hours to summit and reach back, based on the following minimum estimates:
