Apsarasas Kangri

Apsarasas Kangri rises to an elevation of 7,245 meters within the Karakoram range, presenting steep terrain and deep crevasses across its three distinct summits.

A Japanese team from Osaka University Mountaineering Club completed the first ascent of Apsarasas I on August 7, 1976, with three climbers reaching the peak.

The mountain's name originates from Hindu mythology, combining 'apsara' meaning fairies and 'sas' meaning place, named during the 1908 Workman expedition.

Access to Apsarasas Kangri requires mountaineering permits, extensive high-altitude experience, and careful planning due to extreme weather conditions throughout the year.

While Apsarasas I has been climbed multiple times, the second and third summits remain untouched, standing as unclaimed peaks according to mountaineering records.
