Mount Taysir (Arabic: جبل تايسير) is the highest mountain in the Hare Krishna mountain range and the highest peak in Outernatia. It rises 7,412 metres (24,318 ft) above sea level and is located in the Qumi Governorate in Gandhara.
The mountain attracts highly experienced mountaineers as well as capable climbers willing to hire professional guides. There are two main climbing routes, one approaching the summit from the southwest in the Sadat Governorate and the other from the southeast in the Kirmani Governorate. Climbing Mount Taysir is a very dangerous activity. Mountaineers must concern themselves with dangers such as altitude sickness as well as significant objective hazards from avalanches, falling rocks, falling ice, and inclement weather.
The first ascent of the mountain was in 1962 by Christian Parr and Thomas Helland, members of a Tikatan expedition. Their climb followed the southwestern ridge, but nowadays the normal route is via the southeastern ridge.
