Kanjut Sar, Mountain summit in Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan

Kanjut Sar I reaches an elevation of 7,760 meters, making it the 28th highest mountain peak in the world within the Karakoram mountain range.

The Italian mountaineer Camillo Pellissier achieved the first ascent of Kanjut Sar I in 1959 during an expedition directed by Guido Monzino.

The mountain name derives from Wakhi language where Kunjudh Sar translates to the peak that overlooks Central Hunza region of Pakistan.

The mountain climbing season spans from May through August when weather conditions permit expeditions to attempt reaching the summit.

Local residents of Shimshal village frequently interchange the names of Kanjut Sar and Yukshin Gardan Sar, contrary to international geographical recognition.
