In fact, of the 13 mountains in the world above 8,000 metres, Pakistan has five within its borders. There are, however, hundreds of lesser-known peaks, between 6,000- and 8,000-metre high, which means that they are still higher than any mountain in Europe, Africa, North America, South America and Australia. 1. Tirich Mir The highest mountain in the world outside the Himalaya-Karakoram ranges and the highest in the Hindukush, the 7,706-metre Tirich Mir can be seen from Chitral bazar as well as from Afghanistan.

Snow Dome At 7,160 metres, Snow Dome often falls under the shadow of several neighbouring peaks higher than itself, including the mighty K2.

A brief Introduction: Pakistan is home to 108 peaks above 7,000 meters. And probably as many peaks above 6,000 m. There is no count of the peaks above 5,000 and 4,000 m. Five of the 14 highest independent peaks in the world (the eight-thousanders) are in Pakistan (four of which lie in the surroundings of Concordia; the confluence of Baltoro Glacier and Godwin Austen Glacier). Most of the highest peaks in Pakistan lie in the Karakoram mountain range (which lies almost entirely in the Gilgit–Baltistan region of Pakistan, and is considered to be a part of the greater Himalayan range) but some peaks above 7,000 m are included in the Himalayan and Hindu Kushranges. The list is an incomplete list of mountains in Pakistan. There are many named and unnamed peaks in Pakistan that are currently not included in this list. The list also includes many peaks that are not usually classed as independent mountains, but instead are considered subpeaks of other mountains, due to having low topographic prominence. Most of the highest mountains in Pakistan are located in the Karakoram range (the highest of which is K2, globally ranked 2nd, 8611m), some high mountains are in Himalaya (the highest of which is Nanga Parbat, globally ranked 9th, 8126 m) and Hindu Kush (the highest of which is Tirich Mir, globally ranked 33rd, 7708 m).
