Nanga Parbat, whose name means Naked Mountain, is the ninth
highest mountain in the world and 2nd highest peak in Pakistan,
Nanga Parbat has always been associated with tragedies and
tribulations until it was climbed in 1953. A lot of mountaineers
have perished on Nanga Parbat since 1895. Even today it
is claiming a heavy toll of human lives for, the mountaineers,
in search of adventure and thrill, are becoming its victims
in pursuit of their eagerness to find new and absolutely
un-climbed routes leading to its summit.
The
mountain is easy to reach ( Karakoram Highway approaches
the base of the mountain from the north), but is not so
easy to climb. Unstable glaciers and frequent storms and
avalanches have proved hazardous.
