Gasherbrum V

Gasherbrum V rises to 7,147 meters within the Karakoram range, featuring steep rock faces covered in snow and ice throughout the year.

The first successful ascent of this peak occurred in July 2014 when Korean climbers Nak-jong Seong and Chi-young reached the summit from the northeastern face.

The mountain stands in Gilgit-Baltistan, where Balti, Shina, and Wakhi communities maintain their distinct languages and traditional mountain lifestyles.

Climbing expeditions require permits submitted 70 days before arrival, with base arrangements starting from Islamabad through Skardu to reach the mountain.

The mountain serves as a technical training ground for mountaineers preparing to tackle higher peaks, offering challenging routes and varying weather conditions.
