Muztagh Tower Expedition (7,284m)
“The Impossible Peak” – Conquer One of the World’s Most Iconic Towers
Rising like a blade of stone into the sky, Muztagh Tower (7,284m) stands as one of the most visually stunning and technically challenging peaks in the Karakoram Range. Located between the Baltoro Glacier and the Trango Towers, it was once deemed “unclimbable” due to its sheer rock faces and intimidating symmetry. Today, it is a prized jewel for elite alpinists and technical climbers seeking a legendary and rarely-attempted 7000m expedition.
At Chogholingsa Trek & Tours, we specialize in fully supported expeditions to Muztagh Tower, delivering seamless logistics, high-altitude guidance, and unmatched expertise in the remote corridors of the Karakoram.
