Notable Features
Saltoro Kangri rises dramatically above the Pakistani valleys of the Kondus and Saltoro Rivers to the west of the peak (draining eventually into the Indus River.) Due to danger from military operations, Saltoro Kangri is little visited. Areas just to the west are controlled by Pakistan, to the east by India.

And he ruled England with main and with might,
For he did great wrong, and maintained little right.”
