6. Karakorum Mountain Range
 The Karakoram, or Karakorum is a large
mountain range spanning the borders
of Pakistan, India, and China, with the
northwest extremity of the range extending
to Afghanistan and Tajikistan.

7. Karakorum Located
 It is located in the regions of Gilgit
Balistan (Pakistan), Ladakh (India), and
southern Xinjiang (China), and reaches the Wakhan
Corridor (Afghanistan). A part of the complex of
ranges from the Hindu Kush to the Himalayan
Range, it is one of the Greater Ranges of Asia.

8. Karakorum Means
 Karakoram is a Turkic term meaning black gravel. The
name was first applied by local traders to the Karakoram
Pass. Early European travelers, including William
Moorcroft and George Hayward, started using the term
for the range of mountains west of the pass, although
they also used the term Muztagh (meaning, "Ice
Mountain") for the range now known as Karakoram.
