It reaches 28250 ft (8,611 meters), and lies partly in china and partly in the Pakistani-administered region of Kashmir.

The slightly higher Gasherbrums 1 and-2 are 8000ers, and Gasherbrum-3 is much more impressive than its closest neighbours. It is situated between Gasherbrum II and IV in a sub-range of the Karakoram.

Gasherbrum IV Picture

Gasherbrum: It is the 17th highest mountain on the Earth and the 7th highest in Pakistan. The peak is 7925 meters high and it is an extremely technical climb.
