Maja e Papingut is a mountain peak of the Nemërçka massif, in southern Albania.

[1] Formerly known as Maja e Dritës, the peak is nestled in the Southern Mountain Region, between the municipalities of Përmet and Gjirokastër, where it takes on the shape of a pyramid.

It is composed primarily of Cretaceous limestone rocks with asymmetrical backs.

The eastern side has undergone significant changes from quaternary ice, resulting in the formation of large cirques.

The peak is blanketed in snow throughout the year and is a popular destination for mountain climbers.
