The '''Kishtwar Himalaya''' is a small sub-[[mountain range]] of the [[Himalayas]] System, located in the states of [[Jammu and Kashmir (union territory)|Jammu and Kashmir]] and [[Himachal Pradesh]] in northwestern [[India]].

== Geography ==
It is a dramatic range of steep rock and ice peaks with great local relief. However it is not as well known as other parts of the Himalaya since its highest peak, [[Bharanzar]], or Sickle Moon, is only 6,574 m (21,568 ft) in elevation.<ref name="Schweizer Alpen-Club 1971" /> One of its best-known peaks is [[Brammah]] I, 6,416 m (21,050 ft), climbed by [[Chris Bonington]] and [[Nick Estcourt]] in 1973.

The [[Paddar]] Valley is to the north of Kishtwar range in the Greater Himalayas. Formerly this valley was under the rule of [[Himachal Pradesh|Himachali]] kings. Legend has it that this valley was given to the king of Jammu as a dowry. A mixture of Hindu and Buddhist people live here.
