Holiday Overview
In 1958, an Austrian team led by climbers Heini Roiss, Stephan Pauer, and Dr. Franz Mandl successfully ascended this difficult peak, making an unforgettable impression on the world of climbing. Haramosh Peak originally gained international attention in 1947, when a Swiss team discovered it, sparking more explorations.
The route to Haramosh Peak begins in the Gilgit-Baltistan district of Skardu. There is also a shorter path available from Gilgit city, offering mountaineers easy access to this imposing peak. The best time to attempt this difficult ascent is between May and August when weather conditions are most favourable for mountaineering endeavours.
The Karakoram Mountain Range, a geological marvel of epic proportions that runs across Pakistan and China, is home to some of the world's most famous peaks, including the famed K2. This vast range is approximately 500 kilometres long and 200 km wide, and it connects with the Hindukush and Himalaya Mountains at numerous spots. Aside from its towering mountains, the region is known for its gorgeous valleys and unique populations, such as Skardu, Hunza, and Gilgit. The fast-flowing Hunza River, a defining feature of the landscape, joins the Indus River in the south and flows through the country to the Arabian Sea.
Following the strenuous Haramosh Peak Expedition, adventurers can have a pleasant stay in one of Pakistan's most beautiful areas, the Skardu District. This region, surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty, provides a great setting for rest and introspection.
