🏔️Kanjut Sar Expedition – of Karakoram range
Kanjut Sar (7,760 meters / 25,459 feet)is one of the highest and least-climbed peaks in the Karakoram Range, located in the stunning and culturally rich Hunza Valley of Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. Known for its towering ice ridges, remote location, and alpine majesty, Kanjut Sar offers a true expedition experience for seasoned mountaineers seeking technical challenges and solitude away from crowded mountain routes.
📍 Location & Significance
Kanjut Sar lies in the Hispar Muztagh, a subrange of the Karakoram Mountains, overlooking the Hispar Glacier. The mountain has two main summits: Kanjut Sar I (7,760 m) and Kanjut Sar II (6,831 m). Due to its isolated location, technical difficulty, and extreme weather conditions, Kanjut Sar remains one of the least-attempted 7000-meter peaks in the world—making it a dream destination for hardcore alpinists.
