Spantik Peak (7,027 meters / 23,054 feet), also known as the Golden Peak, is one of the most captivating and accessible climbing peaks in the Karakoram Range of Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. This magnificent mountain rises between the Shigar Valley and the Nagar Valley, offering a splendid view of the surrounding snow-capped giants, including Rakaposhi, Ultar Sar, and Diran Peak.
The mountain is affectionately called the Golden Peak due to the mesmerizing golden hue that appears on its face during sunrise and sunset — a view that leaves climbers and trekkers spellbound. Spantik’s grandeur and natural beauty make it one of the most photographed and admired peaks in the region.
