Sakar Sar is a mountain peak located at 6,272 metres (20,577 ft) above sea level.[2] It lies in the Hindu Kush-Karakoram, in part in the Gilgit-Baltistan region of Pakistan-administered Kashmir and in part in Afghanistan's Wakhan Corridor.
The first successful ascent was completed by a Japanese team in August 1999.[3]
Sakar Sar is located 9 km east of the Irshad Pass on the watershed between Wachandarja in the north and Chapursan in the south.[4] The dominance reference point is a 6610 m high mountain in the Karakoram, located 2.26 km east of the Koz Sar (6677 m) . Also, a few kilometers away is Dilisang Pass, a historic and disused cross-border trading route connecting Kyrgyz people and Wakhi people settlements.[5]
