WHY SO MANY
PEAKS ?
The CONTINENTAL COLLISION of the three
mighty mountain ranges of the world the Himalayas, the Karakorams
& the Hindukush in the North
of Pakistan has given birth to the
thickest cluster of the Highest Peaks
and Largest Glaciers on
Earth. The statistics are simply baffling. 05
of the world's 14 peaks above 8000 meters are
in Pakistan.
101 peaks are above
7000 meters whereas, peaks from 6999 to 3000 meters
are countless. All peaks up to 6500 M may be climbed
without paying
any permit fees.
50 of the world's
100
highest peaks are in Pakistan. K-2 8626 M is the
second highest
on Earth.
Alone in Baltistan &
Hunza, there are more than 100 peaks above
18,000 ft. Literally, most of their base camps
are higher than the Summits of all the peaks in Europe. Pakistan's
glaciated region covers 12,000 Sq/Kms. The 06
longest valley glaciers of the world, are also in Pakistan
& their total length exceed 350 Km. The
Biafo-Hispar
glacial
corridor of
116 Km
is the
longest
on Earth. No
mention of over 300
small
glaciers &
their
tributaries
ranging from
1 to
50
Kms.
Pakistan happens to be the only country in the world which offers the
highest number of Big Walls, Rock Towers, Spires and Pinnacles of
excellent quality. The
vertical faces of Trango Towers are the world's tallest cliffs and
there are many other big walls like Uli Biaho, Shipton Spire, Cat Ears
Spires, Sosbun Spires, Bakhordas, Cathedral ..etc.
