Kyashar

Kyashar rises to 6,769 meters in elevation, featuring steep rock faces and a distinct square-shaped peak within the Makalu-Barun National Park boundaries.

The mountain received its current name in 1983 when Nepalese authorities replaced its previous designation as Peak 43 during a regional geographical renaming initiative.

Local communities refer to the mountain as Charpate, meaning square in their language, reflecting their observation of the summit's geometric characteristics.

Mountaineers planning expeditions to Kyashar require permits and should schedule their climbs between late spring and early autumn for optimal weather conditions.

The Kyashar glacier flows from the western flank of the mountain, while a connecting ridge extends northward to link with Kangtega peak.
