Pakistan is home to one of the world’s most impressive mountain systems, which cover about two-thirds of the country’s entire landmass. The mountain systems of Pakistan are divided into three distinct ranges: the Himalayas, the Karakoram, and the Hindukush.
The Himalayan mountain system is the biggest and most extensive, stretching all the way from Pakistan to India and Nepal. This mountain range is home to five of the world’s highest peaks, including K2 (8,611 m), Nanga Parbat (8,126 m), and Gasherbrum I (8,080 m). The Himalayas also contain many of Pakistan’s largest glaciers and some of the most spectacular mountain scenery in Asia.
The Karakoram mountain range is located in the far north of Pakistan and is home to some of the world’s most spectacular mountain scenery. This range is home to some of the highest peaks on the planet, including K2 (8,611 m), Broad Peak (8,051 m), and Gasherbrum II (8,035 m). The Karakoram is also home to many of the world’s largest glaciers, including the Biafo Glacier and the Baltoro Glacier.
The Hindukush mountain range is located in the extreme north of Pakistan, just south of the Karakoram. This range is much smaller than the Himalayas and the Karakoram, but it still boasts some of the most spectacular mountain scenery in the country. The Hindukush range is home to Tirich Mir (7,708 m), the highest peak in the range.
In total, there are three separate mountain systems in Pakistan - the Himalayas, the Karakoram, and the Hindukush. Each of these ranges is home to some of the most spectacular mountain scenery in the world and is an integral part of Pakistan’s beauty and geography.
