Multiple Italian expeditions have been exploring the area from a geographic and ethnographic point of view.[http://www.americanalpineclub.org/pdfs/BrunelloChart.pdf List of mountains climbed during Italian expeditions in the Hindu Raj range]{{dead link|date=December 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}

A group of climbers from Vicenza successfully climbed Karka for the first time in August 2007 during the expedition "La Gata - Karka 2007". In the course of the same expedition 4 other first ascents were performed in the Chiantar Glacier basin, while the trekking group set the route of what local guides already name "Trekking of the Italians".
