Baltoro Kangri (also known as the Golden Throne) is a mountain of the Karakoram mountain range in Gilgit Baltistan, Pakistan. Baltoro Kangri is the 82nd highest mountain in the world with an elevation of 7,312 metres (23,990 ft). It lies to the south of the Gasherbrums and east of Chogolisa Peak (7,665 m). The huge Baltoro Glacier (which is one of the largest glaciers outside polar regions) rises from the foot of Baltoro Kangri. In the north of Baltoro Kangri is the Abruzzi Glacier.
In 1963, a Japanese expedition made the first ascent of Baltoro Kangri. The expedition consisted of nine members from Tokyo University Ski Alpine Club, which led by Seihei Kato.
