Kaberi Kangri appears on the Pakistan Online Visa System (NADRA) List of Peaks for Gilgit-Baltistan at 7,241 metres. One detail stands out in the record: Kaberi Kangri shares that exact listed figure with another peak, Link Sar. Two different mountains with the same number on an official list is a good reminder that names, not heights, identify a permit. It’s a small detail, but it’s one that trips people up.
This page brings together the verified facts about Kaberi Kangri and practical guidance for anyone thinking of climbing it, from the permit process to safety and responsible travel.
What the record shows
- Name on the list: Kaberi Kangri
- Listed height: 7,241 m (snapshot dated 2026-08-26)
- Shares its listed height with: Link Sar
- Height class: seven-thousand-metre
- Catalog position: 67 listed peaks higher, 35 lower
- District: not assigned by the NADRA table
- Coordinates, routes, grades, ascent history: not in the verified record
Same height, different mountain
Kaberi Kangri and Link Sar both appear at 7,241 m on the snapshot, but they’re separate peaks with separate permit records. If you’re searching by height, or sorting a spreadsheet of objectives, it’s easy to mix them up.
When you prepare an application, copy the peak name exactly from the current official list. Double-check it on every document: the operator’s paperwork, the route map and the insurance policy. A mismatch is the kind of small error that can hold up an expedition.
Peaks within a hundred metres
The NADRA snapshot lists a dense cluster of peaks close to Kaberi Kangri’s height:
| Peak | Listed height |
|---|---|
| K-6 | 7,282 m |
| Baltoro Kangri-V | 7,275 m |
| Diran/Minapin | 7,273 m |
| Baltoro Kangri-III | 7,265 m |
| Golden Throne SE (Baltoro Kangri) | 7,240 m and 7,225 m (two entries) |
| Hachindar Chish – N | 7,233 m |
| Golden Throne NE (Baltoro Kangri) | 7,180 m |
| Chogolisa | 7,150 m |
| Baltoro Kangri-I | 7,312 m |
That’s a lot of company within a narrow band. It shows how many summits in Gilgit-Baltistan rise past 7,000 m, and why a single height figure can’t describe what a climb involves. Two peaks a few metres apart on the list can differ completely in approach, technical demands and exposure to hazards.
Reading Kaberi Kangri’s ranking
With 67 peaks above it and 35 below, Kaberi Kangri sits a little above the lower third of the catalog’s listed heights. The ranking is a quick way to place it among its neighbours, but it says nothing about technical difficulty, remoteness or how often the peak is attempted. Use it as context, not as a measure of challenge. For a real sense of what Kaberi Kangri demands, you’ll need the judgement of people who know the ground.
Where is Kaberi Kangri?
The NADRA table doesn’t place Kaberi Kangri in a district, and we don’t have verified coordinates. Rather than estimate, we leave its position unstated. The region as a whole borders Afghanistan, China and India. Get location and approach details from your registered operator and the documents that come with your permit.
Permits, step by step
All peaks on the official list fall under the permit framework run with the Tourism Department and the Directorate of Tourist Services (DTS). The Tourism Department FAQ describes the main requirements:
- registration for trekking or mountaineering
- an online application
- royalty and environment fees
- insurance
- tour-operator application materials, a route map, passport copies and fee receipts
Licensed guides and porters are required where mandated, and restricted areas need their own permits. Fees and forms change, so check the current process in applying for trekking and mountaineering permits and trekking and mountaineering regulations.
Working with a registered operator
The official FAQ refers teams to registered operators on NADRA and DTS listings. We don’t name operators for Kaberi Kangri. Our hiring a tour operator guide sets out what to look for. Ask candidates how they’d approach a peak with so little public information, how they verify route and access details, and how they handle emergencies. Porter and mule arrangements are regulated by Tourism Department and DTS guidelines, so arrange them through your operator.
When to go
The record doesn’t give a climbing season for Kaberi Kangri. Timing should come from your operator and current weather advisories. Our best time to visit Gilgit-Baltistan guide describes regional seasons in general terms. At 7,000 m and above, expect extreme cold in any month.
Travel to the region
The Tourism Department FAQ names Gilgit Airport and Skardu International Airport as the region’s airports, and the Karakoram Highway carries most road traffic. The onward approach to Kaberi Kangri depends on your expedition plan. See getting to Gilgit-Baltistan and Skardu International Airport, and leave room in the schedule for disrupted flights and roads.
Gear and money
Start with the department’s general list: warm clothing, sturdy shoes, sun protection, insect repellent, first-aid supplies, water and energy bars. A 7,000 m objective will need far more, and your operator will specify the technical kit. Our packing for Gilgit-Baltistan guide covers the essentials. Bring cash in Pakistani Rupees, because the FAQ says cards aren’t widely accepted.
Risk and safety
Altitude illness, crevasses, avalanches, rockfall and rapid weather changes are constant risks on high peaks. Build in acclimatisation days, agree a turnaround time before every summit push and respect it. On mountain roads, hire experienced local drivers, as official advisories recommend. If you need help within Gilgit-Baltistan, the Tourism Department FAQ says to dial 1422 for the Tourist Police; from outside GB, dial 05811-930055.
Insurance that fits the climb
Insurance is part of the permit process, but not every policy covers mountaineering at 7,000 m. Read the small print: check the altitude limit, whether technical climbing is included and how evacuation and medical costs are handled. Keep a copy of the policy with your permit documents and give one to your expedition leader.
Choosing between peaks of similar height
With so many peaks listed close to 7,241 m, climbers sometimes struggle to choose between them. Height is only one factor. Before deciding on Kaberi Kangri, ask operators to compare your shortlisted peaks on:
- access: how long the approach takes and how reliable it is
- logistics: porter needs, camp sites and supply lines
- experience required: the skills and altitude history the climb demands
- team fit: whether the objective matches your group’s goals and abilities
An operator who can explain these trade-offs clearly, and admit what they don’t know, is worth more than one who promises a summit.
Life at base camp
Expeditions to seven-thousand-metre peaks usually involve long spells at base camp, waiting for acclimatisation and weather. Good routines help: eat and drink well, keep warm, rest properly and look after hygiene to avoid illness. Agree on camp rules for rubbish and waste from day one. Small habits at base camp can make the difference between a healthy team and one worn down before the climbing starts.
Responsible climbing
Pack out what you bring in, and follow our camping regulations at every camp. Treat porters fairly and with respect. In villages along the approach, dress modestly and ask before taking photos, and in border areas follow the photography restrictions.
Researching a little-documented peak
Kaberi Kangri has a short public record. When you research it, keep three kinds of information apart:
- Official status: from the NADRA list.
- Route and logistics: from your registered operator.
- Conditions: from current advisories near your departure date.
Be wary of details that can’t be traced to a reliable source, especially online maps or route descriptions. If something matters for safety, confirm it with someone accountable.
After the expedition
The responsibility doesn’t end when you leave the mountain. Make sure all rubbish has been carried out and disposed of properly, that porters have been paid as agreed and that any incidents are reported to your operator. If you share your experience online, be careful about presenting route details as fact unless you’re sure they’re accurate. Others may rely on what you write.
