Khunyang Chhish, Mountain peak in Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan.

The Khunyang Chhish rises to 7,852 meters within the Hispar Muztagh subrange of the Karakoram mountains, north of the extensive Hispar Glacier system.

The mountain remained unclimbed until recent expeditions, representing one of the last major mountaineering challenges in the Karakoram range of Pakistan.

The mountain's name reflects the linguistic heritage of Gilgit-Baltistan, where local communities maintain traditional practices in the shadow of these peaks.

Reaching the base of Khunyang Chhish requires extensive preparation, specialized climbing permits, and navigation through the Karakoram Highway to access points.

The mountain stands as the sixth highest peak in Pakistan, featuring steep faces and technical climbing routes on all sides.
