Saraghrar (Urdu: سراغرار) is the fourth-highest independent peak in the Hindu Kush and located in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The entire Saraghrar massif is a huge, irregularly stretched plateau at elevation around 7,000 m (22,966 ft), lying above vertical granite and ice faces, which protects it all around. Its distinct summits are poorly identified, and information gathered from expeditions that have visited the area is often misleading. The main summits are: NE summit (7,340 m (24,081 ft)), northwest summit (7,300 m (23,950 ft)), southwest summit (7,148 m (23,451 ft)), south summit (7,307 m (23,973 ft)), and southeast summit (7,208 m (23,648 ft)).
