The Mount Sikaram is a mountain on the Pakistani - Afghan border.
Sikaram Sar is the highest peak of Safēd Kōh with a height of 4755 m . To the west and north are the Afghan provinces of Lugar and Nangarhar . In the southeast is the Kurram Agency , which is one of the tribal areas under the federal administration of Pakistan. The Surkhrud , a right tributary of the Kabul River , drains the northern flank. In the south the Kurram runs in an easterly direction. The Sikaram Sar is located west of the Chaiber Pass and just a little north of the Peiwar Pass .
The first to climb it is the British surveyor George Batley Scott (1844–1932), who climbed the mountain during a campaign to survey Afghanistan in 1878/79.
