The Concept of Mountaineering in Pakistan

The human nature of exploration has been told in history since time centuries old. If you are someone who is into the feats of bravery and unimaginable stories, you are at the right place! Pakistan has been the center of attention for having five 8000 meters peaks, making it a hot tourist spot in the world. The advancement in the equipment, routes and technology have made the hobby of mountaineering in Pakistan a lucrative activity for the people. The challenging territories and remote beauty of these peaks attract individuals from all over the world to try their luck.

Specific skills required to climb the peaks and finding the right pathways requires an intensive training which might be too much for some, but others love the grueling that prepares them for the unexpected situations that might come up in their mountaineering expedition. Knowledge about the passes and clefts in the mountains are imparted by the mountaineers who have charted those territories and explained in detail so that the chances of any mishap during adventure are minimized.

Mountaineering in Pakistan was brought to highlight as the advent of digital communications became wide-spread, and the establishment of network that enabled the locals residing near the peaks to share their stories with the rest of the world. 2022 was record breaking season as people from other countries also tried their luck to summit the peaks, with as many as hundred climbers were reported to cover the same area.

If you look at the recent past, a few notable names also came into news that highlighted mountaineering in Pakistan such as Ali Sadpara (late), and Sajid Sadpara, Samina Baig, Nazir Sabir and many others. They, along with their counterparts, have conquered not one but as much as 12 peaks during their expeditions. With more upcoming talent, mountaineering in Pakistan has long way to go in terms of emphasizing the soft image in the world.

Deep Dive into the Top Mountain Peaks in Pakistan

For any country, it is necessary to have their mountain peaks mapped and identified first. The expedition to find the top mountain peaks in Pakistan began in 1950’s with the collaboration between army and US mountaineer. This was followed by many others and has been continued in the current era as well. So far, following is the list of the top mountain peaks in Pakistan:

  • Karakoram Range with the 2nd highest mountain peak of the world, K2, is mostly found in the Pakistan administered region. It has been listed in UNESCO in 2010 for having both nature reserve and wetlands along with the mountain peaks
  • Nanga Parbat, which means “King of the Mountains”, is situated in the Himalayan belt near Gilgit-Baltistan province of Pakistan. It has been called as one of the most difficult mountains to climb
  • Tirich Mir, which is in the Hindu Kush range found in Chitral, was first traveled in 1950 by a Norwegian expedition. Its name is also translated into “King of Darkness” due to long shadows created at sunset
  • Spantik peak, located in Shigar district, Gilgit-Baltistan region with northwest face known as “Golden Pillar” is one of the toughest climbing routes in the world
  • Gasherbrum 1, or commonly called as “Hidden Peak” is the 11th highest peak in the world, which was first spotted in 1856 and climbed in 1958. Since then, it has been covered by both national and international teams and has the title shining wall
