Terich Mir, Mountain peak in Chitral District, Pakistan.

Terich Mir reaches an elevation of 7,708 meters, making it the highest mountain in the Hindu Kush range and the 33rd highest peak worldwide.

The first successful climb to the summit occurred in July 1950 when Norwegian mountaineers Arne Næss, P. Kvernberg, H. Berg, and Tony Streather completed their expedition.

The Kalash people consider the mountain as the territory of goddess Krumai, while Chitrali residents believe it houses protective fairies that guard the peak.

The mountain station at 4,245 meters records winter temperatures averaging -17.5°C in January and summer temperatures reaching 6.5°C in July and August.

The name derives from the Wakhi language, where 'trich' translates to shadow or darkness and 'mir' means king, reflecting its commanding presence in the region.
