Sarwali Peak, also known as Dabbar Peak and Toshe Ri is actually Toshain-I which at an altitude of 6,326 metres (20,755 ft) above sea level at the junction of the Neelam and Shounter Valleys in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK), Pakistan [1] at on Toshain/Rupal Glacier towering in Rupal Valley of Nanga Parbat. It is the highest point in Azad Jammu and Kashmir.[2] The Kashmir Tourism Department sent an expedition in 2004 (details not available), but there has been no documented successful ascent of the peak.[1] The ridge line that forms Toshain walls houses Toshain II, Toshain III, Toshain IV and Toshain V (Shounter Peak),[3] which all are technical in nature and heavily glaciated. Three Islamabad based climbers named Imran Juanidi, Usman Tariq and Khurram Rajput tried to reach on the top but unfortunately went missing on 31 August 2015 and beside search and rescue effort, could not be found! Gasherbrum (Urdu: گاشر برم‎) is a remote group of peaks located at the northeastern end of the Baltoro Glacier in the Karakoram range of the Himalaya on the border of the Chinese- Xinjiang province and the Gilgit-Baltistanterritory of Pakistan. The massif contains three of the world's 8,000 metre peaks (if Broad Peak is included). Although the word "Gasherbrum" is often claimed to mean "Shining Wall",[citation needed] presumably a reference to the highly visible face of Gasherbrum IV,[original research?] it comes from "rgasha" (beautiful) + "brum" (mountain) in Balti, hence it actually means "beautiful mountain".[citation needed] GeographyEditPeakmetresfeetLatitude (N)Longitude (E)Prominence(m)Gasherbrum I8,08026,50935°43′27″76°41′48″2,155Broad Peak8,04726,40035°48′35″76°34′06″1,701Gasherbrum II8,03526,36235°45′27″76°39′15″1,523Gasherbrum III7,95226,08935°45′34″76°38′31″355Gasherbrum IV7,92526,00135°45′39″76°37′00″725Gasherbrum V7,14723,44835°43′45″76°36′48″654Gasherbrum VI6,97922,89735°42′30″76°37′54″520Gasherbrum VII6,95522,81839°44'19"76°36'0"165Gasherbrum Twins6,912 and 6,87722,677 and 22,56235°34'13"76°35'36"162 In 1856, Thomas George Montgomerie, a British Royal Engineers lieutenant and a member of the Great Trigonometric Survey of India, sighted a group of high peaks in the Karakoram from more than 200 km away. He named five of these peaks K1, K2, K3, K4 and K5, where the "K" denotes Karakoram. Today, K1 is known as Masherbrum, K3 as Gasherbrum IV, K4 as Gasherbrum II and K5 as Gasherbrum I. Only K2, the second highest mountain in the world, has retained Montgomerie's name. Broad Peak was thought to miss out on a K-number as it was hidden from Montgomerie's view by the Gasherbrum group.
