Nestled within the Chitral District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, Buni Zom emerges as a majestic peak at 6,552 meters (21,463 feet) and a mere 50 kilometres east of Tirich Mir. It is a part of the formidable Buni Zom Massif, which boasts 12 peaks, each scaling over 6,000 meters in elevation.

Legacy of Rare Ascents:

This remote and enigmatic region has seen only a handful of successful summits. The inaugural ascent was pioneered in 1957 by a New Zealand expedition led by W.K. Berry and C.H. Tyndale. Their route, originating from the east via the Gordoghan Zom Glacier, involved:

• Scaling the north face of Buni Zom North.
• Descending to the north col.
• Ultimately conquering the north ridge of the Main peak.

The subsequent ascent in August 1975 saw a Japanese team triumph over the mountain's south face, navigating the challenging southwest ridge. The last successful climb transpired in 1979 when two American climbers ventured to conquer Buni Zom's southwest peak.

Unexplored Gem:

Buni Zom remains one of the world's least explored mountain areas, with only three documented ascents and seven individuals who have achieved the summit. This extraordinary peak is nestled within the Hindu Raj Mountains, a geographical region between the Karakoram and Hindu Kush ranges in northern Pakistan.
