evidence: Ghent Kangri, also known as Mount Ghent, is a magnificent peak situated in the Saltoro Mountain Range, located in the disputed territory between India and Pakistan. It is a part of the larger Karakoram Range that extends from Afghanistan through Pakistan and into India’s Ladakh region. The majestic Ghent Kangri stands at an impressive height of 7,401 meters making it the 22nd highest independent peak in the world. The mountain is nestled between two prominent regions – Gilgit-Baltistan and Ladakh. Gilgit-Baltistan is an administrative territory in northern Pakistan that borders the provinces of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab to the south, Azad Kashmir to the southeast, and Afghanistan’s Wakhan Corridor to the north. In contrast, Ladakh is a region administered by India as a union territory, which constitutes a part of the larger region of Kashmir, which has been the subject of dispute between India, Pakistan, and China since 1947. The first successful expedition to Ghent Kangri was carried out by a Japanese team in 1961. The mountain has been relatively less explored due to its challenging terrain and hostile conditions. This peak is part of the strategic Saltoro Ridge, which acts as a natural barrier between India and Pakistan in this disputed region.
