The Toshaing Glacier is located in the Astore district in the Pakistani special territory of Gilgit-Baltistan .
The 12.5 km long glacier flows in an S-curve initially in a northerly and later in a southeastern and finally in an east-northeast direction through the Nanga Parbat massif in the western Himalayas . The Mazenogletscher hits from the north to the lower portion of the Toshaingletschers. The Toshaingletscher joins the Rupal Glacier on the right . The nutrient area of the Toshaing Glacier is framed by the peaks of the Toshain group: Toshain I ( 6424 m ), Toshain II ( 6335 m ), Toshain III ( 6270 m ) and Toshain IV ( 6045 m ).
