The Great Karakoram stretches from 74°E of the Ishqman River, the source of the Gilgit River, a member of the Indus River system, in the west to 78°20′E of the Shayok River bend in the east, covering a length of about 500 km from west-northwest to east-southeast, with a maximum width of about 100 km from north to south.
