Holiday Overview
The word "Kanjut" or "Kunjudh" comes from the Wakhi language and refers to the lower Hunza region. For mountaineers who dare to ascend its heights, this massive peak is a test of both skill and determination.
Camillo Pellissier, a member of an Italian expedition that made mountaineering history in 1959, made the first successful ascent of Kanjut Sar.
Kanjut Sar is separated into two independent peaks, Kanjut Sar I at 7,760 metres (25,459 feet) and Kanjut Sar II at 6,831 metres (22,411 feet).
Your Kanjut Sar Expedition departs from Gilgit-Baltistan's picturesque Hispar Valley, taking the relatively easier and quicker path through the Hispar Glacier, while a more difficult route departs from the Biafo Glacier in the Baltoro region. The best time to climb to the summit is during the Pakistani summer, between May and August.
Kanjut Sar is located in the Karakoram Mountain Range, which runs over Pakistan and China and is home to some of the world's most-known peaks, including K2 and Nanga Parbat.
This massive range, 500 kilometres long and 200 km wide, joins with the Hindukush and Himalaya Mountains at strategic spots, providing a spectacular tapestry of natural splendour. It is a region ornamented with a network of rivers, notably the huge Indus River, which adds to its mystique.
The Kanjut Sar Expedition is your chance to put your skills to the test against one of the world's grandest peaks, located within the magnificent landscapes of the Karakoram, where adventure and nature's splendour await.
