Lupghar Sar

Lupghar Sar reaches an elevation of 7,200 meters within the Hispar Muztagh range of the Karakoram mountains, featuring steep glacial slopes and rock formations.

German mountaineers Hans and Sepp Gloggner accomplished the first successful climb of Lupghar Sar in 1979, establishing the initial route to the summit.

The mountain name originates from the Wakhi language of the local mountain communities, with Lupghar Sar meaning top of the big rock.
