Pakistan is the hub
of the World's Greatest Mountain Chains. The Karakoram, Himalaya, Hindu-Kush
and the Pamir. These Mountains are the walls that form Pakistan's long
and carefully guarded frontiers with China, India, Afghanistan and
across the narrow Wakhan Corridor towards Central Asia. Pakistan has the
largest concentration of high mountains in the World. There are more
than 100 peaks over 7,000 meters (23,000 feet) are within a radius of
180 kilometers. The statistics are amazing. The K2 (8,611 meters) is the
second highest on Planet Earth and is situated in the Karakoram. The
five above 8,000 meter peaks out of the World's fourteen (14) 8,000
meter peaks are in Pakistan. Peaks above 3,000 to 6,000 meters are
countless and remain unclimbed and unnamed. Out of 100 highest peaks in
the world, more than 50 are in Pakistan.
