Central Karakoram National Park, National park in Shigar District, Pakistan.
The park spans 10,000 square kilometers and contains four peaks above 8,000 meters, including K2, Gasherbrum I, Gasherbrum II, and Broad Peak.
The national park was established in 1993 across five districts of Gilgit Baltistan, marking Pakistan's commitment to preserve its mountain ecosystems.
Local indigenous communities in the park region maintain traditional practices adapted to mountain life through generations of living in high-altitude environments.
Visitors require permits and professional guides to access the park, with optimal climbing conditions occurring between May and September during summer months.
The park's glaciers demonstrate the Karakoram anomaly, maintaining their size despite global warming trends affecting other mountain ranges worldwide.
