It is located in the extreme south-west corner of Tajikistan's Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Province ( Ishkoshim District), where the north–south Ishkoshim Range joins the east–west Shakhdara Range. Elevation 6,096 m. Discovered in the early 1930s by Soviet explorer Pavel Luknitsky, who gave it a figurative name, Three-Headed Peak.
