Shuidar

Shuidar[1]is a mountain peak located in the Waziristan region of Pakistan.[2] It is the highest point in the North Waziristan District, rising to an elevation of approximately 11,000 feet (3,400 m) at the western end of the Khaisora Valley.[3]

The surrounding area is known for its mineral wealth, particularly deposits of manganese.[4][5] Shuidar lies within a region traditionally inhabited by the Mahsud tribe, one of the major Pashtun tribal groups of Waziristan.[6]
