The Panmah Muztagh is part of the Karakoram mountain range. The larger surface area part lies in Baltistan, a district of the autonomous region of Gilgit- Baltistan in Pakistan. The border between Pakistan and China, runs through the eastern part of the mountain range.
Location
The Panmah Muztagh lies in the heart of the Karakoram, Baltoro Muztagh northwest of (the area of the eight-thousanders of the Karakoram ), and southeast of the Hispar Muztagh. The main chain extends from West Muztagh Pass in the south-east to north and then turns to the west and extends to the Khurdopinpass in the West. The main chain are upstream of the mountains of the Ogre and Latok groups in the Southwest. In the southwest they are separated by the Biafo glaciers of the Spantik - Sosbun Mountains. The north separate the Skamri glacier and glacier Braldu the Panmah Muztagh from the WESM Mountains. The Nobande - Sobande Glacier in the north and the south west Choktoi Glacier are within the mountain range. They unite to Panmah Glacier. The Chiring Glacier flows from the western Muztagh Pass to Nobande-Sobande-/Panmah-Gletscher and represents the boundary between Panmah Baltoro Muztagh and
Mountains and summit of Muztagh Panmah
The highest mountains of the chain are compared to other parts of the Karakorum not particularly high, but are distinguished from the peaks of the surrounding areas by unusual Cliff summit. In particular, the highest mountain in the Panmah Muztagh, the 7285 meter high Baintha Brakk ( Ogre ), is considered one of the most difficult mountains in the world and was first climbed twice. The mountains of the nearby Latok group are of similar difficulty. Both groups are on the northeast side of the long Biafo glacier.
Karpogo Sar and Sar Changtok, two other high mountains of Panmah Muztagh, lie within the main chain, north of Chiring glacier.
The 7108 meter high Latok II is run as a secondary summit of Latok I due to a saddle height of 428 meters.
