Gasherbrum I (8067m)

Overview

Gasherbrum I Expedition standing proudly as the 11th-highest peak globally, finds its majestic location in the Gilgit Baltistan region of Pakistan. This colossal mountain is an integral part of the Gasherbrum massive, situated within the Karakoram region of the Himalayas. The Gasherbrum range, a remote cluster of towering peaks nestled in the Karakoram, occupies a secluded space at the northeast terminus of the expansive 36-mile Baltoro glacier. Among these impressive summits, Mt. Gasherbrum I, often referred to as G-I, stands out as a particularly challenging ascent, known for its demanding nature.
