Accessible through the pathway of Aru Pahalgam, this mountain stands tall as the crowned jewel of the Kashmir Division.

From the icy embrace of Kolahoi's glacier emerges the lifeblood of the region, the Lidder River Pahalgam.

On 7 September 2018, a team of mountaineers while descending after successful summit were hit by rockfall debris, which killed two of them.
