Pīr Kanthi is located in Bagh District[citation needed], Azad Kashmir, in the mountains of the Pir Panjal Range. It is estimated to be 4,264 metres (2.650 mi; 13,990 ft) above sea level.[1]

It is about 200 kilometres (660,000 ft) northeast of Islamabad. At Sudhan Gali, visitors who arrive by car can park and walk to the top of the path that leads to Shar Comp.[citation needed] Although mountaineering is fairly easy hike to the peak, climbers have been killed in storms.[citation needed] At this peak, hikers can see views of the Himalayan mountains. The water comes from the mountain Jhelum River.[citation needed]
