Noshaq, Mountain summit in Wakhan Corridor, Afghanistan.
Located on the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan, Noshaq reaches an elevation of 7,492 meters within the Hindu Kush mountain range.
The Japanese expedition led by Professor Yajiro Sakato achieved the first successful ascent of Noshaq in 1960 through the West ridge route.
The reopening of Noshaq to mountaineers represents Afghanistan's commitment to preserving natural landmarks and developing mountain tourism opportunities.
Climbers planning to ascend Noshaq require specialized high-altitude equipment and should schedule expeditions during the favorable summer climbing season.
Polish mountaineers Tadeusz Piotrowski and Andrzej Zawada completed the first winter climb above 7,000 meters globally on Noshaq in February 1973.
