Overview

In the Mashabrum Mountains, Mashabrum K1 is the highest one. The height of this huge peak is 7821 meters. It belongs to the sub-range of Karakoram Mountain Range. It is quite a large and attractive peak which is present in the imperative range of Karakoram. This range incorporates GI, K2, GII and Broad Peak.
Mashabrum is included in the toughest mountains to climb. It does not have smooth paths or trekking routes. Till today, it has only four successful ascents. However, Mashabrum SE only has one ascent. Many attempts have been made by international and local climbers yet they could not make it due to the objective dangers. Many people have been the victim of the ice avalanches. Still, the first ascent to the Mashabrum SE was made in the year of 1981.
