Pakistan is really a naturally blessed country and has everything in it but we have not done anything to preserve it.

Pakistan is not just "also among those countries which are home to several mountain ranges"......it is the mecca for mountains with all three of the highest mountain ranges present here.

Himalayas have 9 out of the 10 highest peaks in the world. K2, the second highest peak, belongs to the Karakoram.

• Karakoram Range

This mountain range runs along various countries namely: Pakistan, China and India. It is home to the several world’s highest glaciers and mountains including the famous K2.

The name 'Karakoram' does not come from Turkish but instead is a Turkic term meaning 'Black Gravel' and not just 'black'. It originated around Western China and Mongolia and not in Turkey. The Mongol empire's capital was also named Karakoram. Those glaciers are also the largest outside of the poles.

• Hindu Kush Range

This chain of mountains runs along the Eastern Afghanistan and stretches out towards North Western part of Pakistan.
