This is the westernmost subrange of the Karakoram range, and is located in the Gilgit district of the Northern Areas of Pakistan, west of the Hunza Valley. It runs from Chalt village, in the Bar Valley on the eastern end, to Kampir Dior in Kurumbar Valley on the western end. The Kurumbar Valley separates the Pamir and Hindu Kush ranges from the Karakoram.
Because it is much lower in elevation than many of the surrounding peaks, such as Batura Sar and Rakaposhi, Sangemarmar Sar is little-known, and there has been only one successful ascent of the peak, according to the Himalayan Index. However, because of its location on the southeast flank of the range, relatively near the Hunza Valley, it does enjoy tremendous vertical relief above local terrain.
