Pakistan's Eight-Thousanders

Into the Realm of the World's Highest Peaks

Pakistan is home to five of the world’s fourteen mountains rising above 8,000 metres. From the legendary K2 to the formidable Gasherbrum peaks and Nanga Parbat, these mountains represent some of the most challenging and extraordinary mountaineering objectives on Earth.

Explore Pakistan’s legendary 8,000-metre peaks and discover the remote glaciers, valleys and high-altitude landscapes that surround them.

K2 (Mount Godwin Austen) summit (8,611 m)

Attempt the world's second-highest mountain through the legendary Baltoro approach, followed by a demanding high-altitude ascent toward K2's summit. An expedition reserved for highly experienced mountaineers.

Nanga Parbat (8,126 m)

Rising dramatically above the valleys of Gilgit-Baltistan, Nanga Parbat is Pakistan’s second-highest peak. Its immense Rupal Face and spectacular surrounding landscapes make it one of the world’s most remarkable mountains.

Gasherbrum I (8,080 m)

Deep within the remote Karakoram, Gasherbrum I rises above one of the world’s most spectacular high-altitude landscapes. Known as Hidden Peak, it is a formidable objective for experienced mountaineers.

Broad Peak (8,051 m)

Standing beside K2 in the heart of the Karakoram, Broad Peak is the world’s 12th-highest mountain. Its enormous summit ridge and proximity to K2 make it an iconic part of the Baltoro landscape.

Gasherbrum II (8,035 m)

One of the world’s highest mountains, Gasherbrum II rises from the remote Gasherbrum massif. Its dramatic glaciers, towering walls and isolated setting offer an extraordinary high-altitude experience.
