Northern Pakistan is blessed with the world’s majestic, densest ranges of highest and most precipitous mountains in the world. The continental collision of the Indo-Australian tectonic platelet to the existence of the most spectacular diversified peaks in the whole Asian continent.
The convergence of three major mountain ranges: Himalaya, Karakoram (second highest in the world), and Hindukush has been a unique geographical landmark on earth. These are located at the confluence of the Indus and Gilgit rivers near Jaglot – a small town 40 km south of Gilgit city.
Pakistan has more than a hundred peaks that are above 7,000 meters. Out of the world’s 14 highest peaks, five are found to be in Pakistan (8,600 meters to 28,000 feet). They are a famous sight of attraction for geologists and climbers from all over the world.
This blog will discuss some of the major mountain ranges in Pakistan. This list also includes some of the peaks that are generally categorized as independent mountains. Instead, they are deemed as subpeaks of other mountains, on account of low topographic prominence.
