It is very unlikely that all the heights given are correct to the nearest meter; indeed, problems of

definition of sea level can arise when a mountain is remote from the sea. Different sources often
differ by many meters, and the heights given below may well differ from those elsewhere in
Wikipedia. Many mountains in the Karakorum differ by over 100 metres on different maps. These
discrepancies serve to emphasise the uncertainties in the listed heights.

Geographical distribution[edit]
See also: Mountain ranges of Pakistan
Most of the highest mountains in Pakistan are located in the Karakoram range (the highest of which
is K2, globally ranked 2nd, 8611m), some high mountains are in Himalaya(the highest of which
is Nanga Parbat, globally ranked 9th, 8126 m) and Hindu Kush (the highest of which is Tirich Mir,
globally ranked 33rd, 7708 m).
The locations of the highest mountains are shown on the composite satellite image
of Karakoram and Hindu Kush below. The numbers refer to the global ranking in this "List of highest
mountains". For clarity, lower peaks with labels overlapping higher peaks are left out of the main
image.
