Mountaineering in Pakistan
KARAKORAM Pakistan
Stretching over about 400 Kilometers/250 miles Karakoram “The Black Mountains” lie in Baltistan, a remote region of Gilgit,Baltistan of Pakistan, bordering Tibet and India, present a wealth of opportunities for real adventure travel. Though best known for the world’s second highest peak, colossal pyramid shaped K2, the Karakoram Range is also peppered with unworldly granite spires that stand sentinel over the sweeping glaciers that spill off its central divide. Some as yet unclaimed by the mountaineering fraternity, these monoliths are the hallmark of the region and the sight of them bathed in the mellow light of sunrise or sunset, is simply unforgettable. Since its discovery by Europeans in the early 19th century, explorers, mountaineers and trekkers have marveled at what is the greatest concentration of high peaks and glaciers on earth.
