Malangutti Sar

Malangutti Sar is a mountain summit in Gilgit-Baltistan that reaches 7,200 meters high. It stands within a massif of several peaks in the Karakorum range and demands technical climbing skills from those who attempt it.

A Japanese expedition team led by Tadao Sugimoto completed the first recorded ascent in 1986. This climb established the peak on the mountaineering map for subsequent adventurers.

Local communities in the Gilgit-Baltistan region maintain traditional practices of supporting mountaineering expeditions through specialized porter services.

Climbers should plan visits between May and August when conditions are most favorable for the attempt. Before starting, obtain rescue insurance and submit government permits well ahead of your travel dates.

The peak has a prominence of about 514 meters and sits quite close to the significantly higher neighboring peak Distaghil Sar. This proximity to a taller mountain makes it appealing for climbers planning to tackle multiple summits in sequence.
