Sangemarmar Sar

Sangemarmar Sar is a mountain peak in the Batura Muztagh that stands between the Muchuhar Glacier and the Shispare Glacier in the Karakoram range. The summit reaches approximately 6,949 meters and dominates the rocky glacier-carved landscape of this isolated mountain zone.

The mountain was first summited by a Japanese team from Osaka University in July 1984 via the southwest ridge. This achievement marked an important milestone in the mountaineering exploration of this remote Karakoram area.

The peak takes its name from Persian, meaning 'marble ore', inspired by the striking yellow marble band that runs across its summit section. This distinctive feature makes the mountain recognizable to climbers from great distances.

Reaching this peak requires official permits and experienced local guides who know the terrain and conditions. Summer months provide the best opportunity for an ascent attempt when weather patterns are more favorable.

The summit stands more than 5,000 meters above the Hunza River, yet sits only about 15 kilometers away horizontally. This extreme elevation difference across such a short distance reveals the dramatic topography of this mountain region.
