Malika Parbat (Pashto/Urdu: ملکہ پربت; Queen of the Mountains) (el. 5,290 metres (17,360 ft)) is the highest peak in Kaghan Valley, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. It is about 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) south of Lake Saiful Muluk, near Ansoo Lake.[2]

The mountain is clearly visible from the popular tourist spot of Lake Saiful Maluk in Kaghan Valley. Malika Parbat is accessible from Naran-Lake Saiful Muluk side and from Batakundi-Dadar Chitta glacier. There are three summits that form Malika Parbat: Malika Parbat (North Peak), Malika Parbat Cresta, and Malika Parbat (South Peak). There are other peaks which offer considerable climbing difficulty in Siran Basin, Khabanar Valley and Burji Valley, while from Burawai, another cirque[check spelling] of low peaks is equally good for mountaineering.
