Aq Tash
Aq Tash, also known as Skyampoche Ri, is a mountain peak in the Leh district of Ladakh, India, situated in the Rimo Muztagh subrange of the Karakoram. It stands at an elevation of 7,016 meters (approximately 23,018 feet) above sea level, making it one of the significant seven-thousanders in the region.
The peak lies near the disputed border area between India and Pakistan, with a mountain ridge running northwest from Aq Tash to the nearby Mamostong Kangri peak. Aq Tash is known for its challenging terrain, being a sharp and broken ridge considered one of the last unclimbed 7000-meter peaks in the area, attracting mountaineers and explorers.
It offers expansive views of surrounding glaciers and peaks, making it an impressive landmark in the high Karakoram mountains of Ladakh. The peak was first successfully climbed in the early 1990s by Japanese and Indian expeditions. Aq Tash’s rugged landscape and strategic location add to its geographic and mountaineering significance in the Ladakh region.
