It lies in the western Himalayan range, and is 12 km (7 mi) north of Brammah massif in Kishtwar, 55 kilometers east of Kishtwar town and 195 kilometers east of Srinagar, the summer capital of the Indian union territory of Jammu and Kashmir.

The Brammah massif lies south of Sickle Moon and is separated by a 12 kilometer glacier.

[3] The eastern approaches of this Peak were explored by Fritz Kolb and his friends, the two Austrian mountaineers in 1947,[4] from its base at Machail and climbed two small peeks.

After a period of closure, the area was again open to foreigners in the early seventies, and there was a rush to climb the obvious plums in the western region.

In 1973 British mountaineers Nick Escourt and Chris Bonington made an ascent of Brammah I (6416 m) and two years later in 1975 a team of Indian High Altitude Warfare School (HAWS) led by Lt. Col. D. N. Tankha made the first ascent of this Peak.
