It is 90 kilometres (56 mi) north of Islamabad, just above Dunga Gali in the Nathia Gali area of Ayubia National Park.[2] It is the second highest peak in the Galyat Region after Miranjani which is located at 2,992 metres (9,816 ft).[3] Much of the mountain is covered with Western Himalayan subalpine conifer forests.[4][5]
