Laila Peak

6096 m

Overview

Laila Peak (6096m) is one of the most visually striking mountains in the Karakoram Range, located in Hushe Valley, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. Its needle-like shape and dramatic steep slopes (60°–75°) make it a dream for climbers and photographers alike. Often compared to the Matterhorn of the Alps, Laila Peak is known for its perfect pyramidal symmetry and sheer beauty, rising sharply above the Gondogoro Glacier.
