Mizri Ghar at 3,111 metres (10,207 ft) is the third highest mountain in the Sulaiman Mountains of Western Pakistan.[2] The only peaks higher are Qaisaghar (Kaisargarh) at 3,444 metres (11,299 ft) and Takht-i-Sulaiman at 3,378 metres (11,083 ft). It is an ultra with prominence of 1618 metres and overall altitude of 3111 metres. It is located in Sub-Tehsil Zimri Palaseen of District Musakhail, Balochistan. In summer, Mizri Ghar receives a high amount of rainfall while in winter season it receives a considerable amount of snowfall, sometimes 4 to 5 ft. Snow capped mountain can easily be seen in winters from Indus Highway near Vehowa almost 40 miles away from mountain. Climate is very cool even in summer and its temperature is comparable to Naran, Kaghan, and Murree. This climate uniqueness of Mizri Ghar makes it one of the coldest tourist points in Balochistan and makes it attractive for the tourists of the adjoining areas such as Zhob, Loralai, D I Khan, DG Khan, and even Multan. There have been demands of paved road from Vehowa Tehsil of Taunsa district to base of Mizri Ghar, if constructed will not only improve the standards of living in Zimri Paloseen sub-tehsil but will also attract thousands of tourists from South Punjab.
