Gasherbrum

Local nameGasherbrum I 加舒尔布鲁木第一峰
LocationGilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan

Gasherbrum is a remote group of peaks situated at the northeastern end of the Baltoro Glacier in the Karakoram mountain range. The peaks are located within the border region of Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan and Xinjiang, China. The massif contains three of the world's 8,000 metre peaks.

The highly visible face of Gasherbrum IV has gained the nickname the "Shining Wall" and this has often been claimed as the meaning of the word "Gasherbrum".

However the name Gasherbrum comes from "rgasha" + "brum" in Balti, hence it actually means "beautiful mountain".
