A Photo Gallery of the 

Karakoram & Hindu Kush Mountains

 in Pakistan

The Karakoram spans the borders

of Pakistan, China, and India,

 in the regions of Gilgit, Ladakh, and Baltistan.


It is one of the Greater Ranges of Asia,

often considered together with the Himalaya,

but not technically part of that range.

Karakoram means "black gravel" in Turkic,

as many of its glaciers are covered in rubble.


The Karakoram has more than sixty peaks

above 7,000m ( 22,960 ft ),

including K2 ( 8,611m, 28,244ft ),

the second highest peak of the world.


Most of these peaks are in the Hunza of Pakistan.


The range is about 500 Km ( 300 miles ) in length,

and is the most heavily glaciated part of the world

outside the polar regions.
