A part of the complex of ranges from the Hindu Kush to the Himalayan Range, it is one of the Greater Ranges of Asia. 5：Gasherbrum III K3a It begins in the Wakhan Corridor (Afghanistan) in the west and encompasses the majority of Gilgit-Baltistan (Pakistan) and extends into Ladakh (India) and the disputed Aksai Chin region controlled by China. 32：Skil Brum
The Hindu Kush on the other hand is separated from the Karakorams by the Gilgit River. Join now. 2：Bilafond La It is the second highest mountain range in the world and part of the complex of ranges including the Pamir Mountains, the Hindu Kush and the Himalayan Mountains.
This range is home to many peaks over five miles in height, including K2 (Mount Godwin Austen), the second highest peak in the world (8,611 m/28,251 ft), and three other of the Earth's fourteen 8,000-meter peaks
The Gilgit rises somewhere between the mountain vastness of the Hindu Kush and the Karakorams. Both follow their own separate Thrust lines and to really understand it you really need to get into Plate tectonics and understand stuff as I present to you below. As per the legend Fairies and other such creatures come to have a bath here at midnight or something on that lines. The Karakoram Range is home to the K2 mountain peak, which has an elevation of 28,251 ft and is the second tallest in the world, after Mount Everest. So do note the name down. 2：Gasherbrum I K5 The name Karakoram was used in the early 20th century, for example by Kenneth Mason,[6] for the range now known as the Baltoro Muztagh. So when you are in Nubra Valley the Mountains on the other side of Shyok River as the Karakorams and this side as the Himalayas. 8：Khunyang Chhish However this ambiguity disappears once the Shyok River merges with the Indus at a place called Keris near the town of Skardu. Rudyard Kipling refers to the Karakoram mountain range in his novel Kim, which was first published in 1900. [26] The ranges are listed roughly west to east. The Jinsha and Banggong Sutures in Tibet join continental terranes separated from Gondwana. Ask your question. Floral surveys were carried out in the Shyok River catchment and from Panamik to Turtuk village by Chandra Prakash Kala during 1999 and 2000. [6][7] Later terminology was influenced by the Survey of India, whose surveyor Thomas Montgomerie in the 1850s gave the labels K1 to K6 (K for Karakoram) to six high mountains visible from his station at Mount Haramukh in Kashmir Valley. [22][23], Legend：
Greg Mortenson details the Karakoram, and specifically K2 and the Balti, extensively in his book Three Cups of Tea, about his quest to build schools for children in the region.
One of the oft asked questions is that is the Karakoram a sub Range of the Himalayas ? 26：Yukshin Gardan Sar 14：Saltoro Kangri K10
Marcel Ichac made a film titled Karakoram, chronicling a French expedition to the range in 1936. It is part of the large chain of mountain ranges which include the Himalayas, the Hindu Kush, and Pamir mountains. The mountain range acts as the natural boundary between India, Pakistan, and China. 15：Khunjerab Pass, 16：Mutsjliga Pass Additionally, two glaciers in the Karakoram, the Biafo Glacier (39 mi) and the Siachen Glacier (47 mi), are the two longest glaciers in the world. 39：Baltoro Kangri, 40：Crown Peak
1：K2 [13] European explorers first visited early in the 19th century, followed by British surveyors starting in 1856. Expressions of this shortening are the uplift of mid-crustal gneisses in the Karakoram on a late-Tertiary breakback thrust, folding of Palaeogene redbeds in Tibet, south-directed thrust imbrication of the foreland and shelf of the Indian Plate, north-directed back-thrusts along the Indus Suture Zone, post-Miocene spreading and uplift of thickened Tibet, giving rise to N--S extensional faults, and strike-slip faults, which allowed eastward escape of Tibetan fault blocks.”. 26：Yukshin Gardan Sar However in Ladakh the division is taken as the Shyok instead of the Indus. Explorations in the 1910s and 1920s established most of the geography of the region. The Tashkurghan National Nature Reserve and the Pamir Wetlands National Nature Reserve in the Karalorun and Pamir mountains have been nominated for inclusion in UNESCO in 2010 by the National Commission of the People's Republic of China for UNESCO and has tentatively been added to the list.[5].
[26] The ranges are listed roughly west to east. [28], This article is about the mountain range. Karakoram is a Turkic term meaning black gravel.

The naming and division of the various subranges of the Karakoram is not universally agreed upon.
It is part of the large chain of mountain ranges which include the Himalayas, the Hindu Kush, and Pamir mountains. 20：Skyang Kangri 1. Baltoro and Batura Glaciers in the Karakoram are 57 kilometres (35 mi) long, as is Bruggen or Pio XI Glacier in southern Chile. 15：Batura III, 16： Saser Kangri I K22 However, the following is a list of the most important subranges, following Jerzy Wala. The Karakoram Highway – the "Eighth Wonder Of The World"? The Causes And Effects Of Melting Glaciers, Countries Doing The Most To Combat Climate Change. The Karakoram is a mountain range spanning the borders of China, India, and Pakistan, with the northwest extremity of the range extending to Afghanistan and Tajikistan; its highest 15 mountains are all based in Pakistan. The Siachen Glacier at 44 miles long and the Biafo Glacier at 39 miles long are the world's second and third longest glaciers outside the Arctic and Antarctic areas. 8：Khunyang Chhish [6][7] Later terminology was influenced by the Survey of India, whose surveyor Thomas Montgomerie in the 1850s gave the labels K1 to K6 (K for Karakoram) to six high mountains visible from his station at Mount Haramukh in Kashmir Valley.
It is the second highest mountain range in the world and part of the complex of ranges including the Pamir Mountains, the Hindu Kush and the Himalayan Mountains. The Zaskar, the Ladakh, the Kailas and the Karakoram are the main ranges.
