Trivor (Urdu: ترِووُر) is one of the high mountain peaks of the Hispar Muztagh, a subrange of the Karakoram range in the Shimshal Valley, Gilgit-Baltistan of Pakistan. Its height is often given as 7,728 metres (25,354 ft), but this elevation is not consistent with photographic evidence.[1] The height given here is from a Russian 1:100,000 topographic map.[2]
There have been only two successful climbs of this peak; the first ascent was in 1960 by a British–American party.[3][4]
