Incredible Nature And Beauty Of Karakoram Mountains
- 6 years ago
Here is a Short Cinematic Video to showcase the incredible nature and beauty of Karakoram Mountains.
The Karakoram Mountain Range, one of the great mountain ranges of Asia, lies on the border of three countries: Pakistan, India, and China. The Gilgit-Baltistan region of Pakistan, Ladakh region of India, and the Xinjiang Province of China are home to this mountain range. About 500 km long and 200 km wide, the Karakoram Range borders the Pamir Mountains to the north, the Tibetan Plateau to the northeast and the Himalayan Mountain Range bounds it from the south. The Gilgit, Indus, and Shyok Rivers separate these two mountain ranges.
The Karakoram Mountains are the most condensed cluster of high peaks found anywhere in the world. K2, the 2nd highest peak in the world and the highest peak in Pakistan, stands at 8611 meters. This mountain range is home to more than 20 mountain peaks with heights above 7000 meters and of these four are above 8000 meters. Four of the world’s fourteen highest mountains are located within the Karakoram Range: K2, Gasherbrum I and II, and Broad Peak.
This range contains the world’s largest glacier field outside the Polar Regions. It is approximated that 37% of the Karakoram is glaciated. The world’s second longest glacier, Siachen Glacier, at 72 km, is located in this region. Other glaciers located in the Karakoram Range are Baltoro, Batura, Biafo, and Hispar. The lengths of these glaciers are disputed with various sources identifying different lengths.
Movement within the Karakoram Range is difficult and the passes located in this range are situated at very high altitudes. The Karakoram Pass at 5,575 km is the highest pass in this range. Other passes include Khunjerab, Mintaka, Kilik, Shimshal and Parpik. Video By - Dawood Choudhry
