It is quite worthwhile to bring expeditions among the world’s famous mountain ranges found in
Pakistan. One must not be wondered facing the altitudes of base camps of Pakistani mountains,
which are higher than the heights of peaks found in Europe. To the surprise, 5000meters heights
are not even considered peaks; they are simply called “hills” in Pakistan. Also one must has to
be sure of the fact that only Karakuram range possesses more than 100 peaks of above 7000meters
and many of them still unnamed and unclimbed. In 1954, Lino Lacedeli and Compageoni from Italy
succeeded to step the first in history on the top of K2, which significantly gave revolutionary
change for mountaineering in Pakistan.
He was G.T Vigne who first discovered the Karakuram system and Lt. Montgomery and Godwin Austin
identified and measured the distant peaks including K1 (Mashabrum) and K2. Young husband, Conway,
Jacot-Guillarmod; the Duke of Abruzi accompanied by his splendid photographer, Victoria Sella,
Kneth Mason of the survey of India, the duke of Spoleto and Prof. Desio, Dr. Visser and his wife,
Shipton, Tillman and Auden and the Gurkhas, Baltis, Hunzakuts, Shemashalies and Sherpas who carried
and endured for they new not what, all contributed to the unraveling and understanding of this
great, awe-inspiring mountains system, many are commemorated in the names of glaciers, passes
and peaks. Today when the information is available on Internet, one must greet and attribute
those geniuses of history who brought us close to these wonders of nature
The great Himalayas, Hindukush and Karakorum ranges arose mountaineers up to the peaks of
reputation resulting both summits and loosing lives in the expeditions of K2, Gashabrums,
Mashabrums, Nanga Parbat and Tirich Mir. The Gilky memorials at k2 bc, snow tomb of Herman
Buhl (Chogholisa), the killer mountains for Nanga Parbat, graves of Hasegawa san in the
Ulter meadows, all witness the struggle of love and facing challenges in the mountains of
Pakistan. The passion is well prevailed around the world and the countries of Europe, America,
Japan and Korea produce a number of renowned climbers coming to Pakistan every year.
Although Pakistani mountains are used to climb during the summer season when monsoon bound climbers
to approach Himalayas in Nepal, there are more attractions to summit any peak in Pakistan during the
winter same in Nepal during the monsoon. The government has announced to charge only 5% royalties to
encourage winter expeditions in Pakistan for the peaks above 8000meters and no royalty fee below this
height. The people related to the tourism sector are considering this act as a big achievement towards
the promotion of adventure tourism, which will definitely enhance the number of expeditions also
during the off-season.
