Let’s come to the Gasherbrum massif once more for realizing about the the 13th highest mountain on Earth. We get in touch with it as Gasherbrum II which is also recognized as K4. Gasherbrum II or K4 is positioned on the Pakistan and China border in the Gilgit Baltistan province of Pakistan. In the great Karakorum range of the Himalaya , Gasherbrum II has the elevation of 8,035 meters (26,362 ft).


Gasherbrum II – K4

Gasherbrum II is the second final mountain peak in rank of the eight-thousander list and the very first productive expedition of this great mountain was created by an Austrian group in 1956. The difficulty status of Gasherbrum II is of Significant Mountain Expedition, as this peak lies at the latitude of 35.757831 and the longitude of 76.653028. The most appropriate climbing route is by way of the southwest ridge as it is fairly free of charge of objective hazards such as ice falls and avalanches.
