Mountains typically rise above 6000m, with more than 160 summits higher than 7000m. In the Karakorum alone, 30 peaks reach higher than 7500m.

Modern Mountaineering: Hunters were the first to visit mountains purely for the pleasures. One of the first real mountaineering expedition to visit this part of the world was in 1892, when Sir, W. Martin Conway with Painter A.D McCormick and a Swiss Guide, set off from Hunza, crossing Hispar pass and named the great white expanse below as snow lake. They descended the Biafo Glacier to Askole and explored Baltoro Glacier, named the Confluence of glaciers at its head as "Concordia" after the place de la Concorde Paris. Today each year 70-80 mountaineering expeditions get permits to climb and explore this greatest concentration of lofty peaks on earth, where five gigantic mountains K-2 Gasherbrum – I Gasherbrum – II Broad Peak and Nanga Parbat, Tower above 8000 meters with 108 peaks higher then 7000 meters and nowhere after the polar region, has such long and sepectacular glaciers (seven over 40kms long).

There are dozen of very spectacular peaks among three ranges of Karakorum, Western Himalaya and Hindukush, located among a superb mountains panorama and are a 2-3 days approach from road heads. The Massive of Nanga Parbat "THE KILLER MOUNTAIN" is surrounded by the spectacular Jilliper Peaks at 5206m and 5245m, Bulder Cleft 5200m Shaigiri 5584m and Rupal peak 5971m.
