Praqpa Kangri, Mountain peak in Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan.
Praqpa Kangri is a mountain summit in the Karakoram range, bordered by the Savoia glacier to the east and the Biango glacier to the west. The peak rises above 7,000 meters and sits in a zone shaped by dramatic elevation changes and glacial flows.
The south summit was first reached in July 2017 by a Chilean mountaineering team via the Southeast ridge. This ascent marked a significant milestone in exploration of the peak.
The mountain stands as a testament to the mountaineering legacy of Gilgit-Baltistan, drawing professional climbers from various nations to attempt its challenging ascent.
Expeditions need careful planning due to steep slopes that are prone to avalanches. Weather conditions are essential to consider before and during any climbing attempt.
The main summit remains one of the highest unclimbed mountains in the world. Multiple expedition attempts have turned back due to impassable terrain and difficult snow conditions.
