A high peak belonging to the Baltoro Mustagh in the central Karakoram range. It rises on the northeast side of Concordia, the confluence of the two headwaters of the Baltoro Glacier, and its summit can be seen from about 50 km downstream. In 1892, the British explorer Conway named it Broad Peak after seeing its wide and imposing appearance, and it is now called Falchan Kanri, which has the same meaning in Baluchi. The ridgeline connecting the main peak (8,047 m) and the central peak (8,016 m) to the north forms the watershed with the Shaksgam River valley on the east, and is also the border between Pakistan and China.
