The Kyashar (also known as Thangnaktse and Peak 43) is a mountain peak (6769 m height) in the Khumbu region in Nepal, east of Namche Bazar in the so-called Hinku Himal. It is located within the Makalu-Barun National Park.[http://www.peakbagger.com/peak.aspx?pid=36879 Kyashar] at Peakbagger

North of Kyashar lies the Kangtega (6783 m), southwest the Kusum Kangguru (6367 m), and the Mera Peak (6476 m) is 6.77 km southeast.

The Kyashar is connected to the Kantega via a ridge. On the west flank flows the Kyashar glacier.

Until 1983, the mountain was named "Peak 43". In 2017, the Nepalese authorities carried out a naming of mountains and other geographic locations, to "wipe out" a large number of Western names from the map, changing the name to "Kyashar".[http://publications.americanalpineclub.org/articles/12198324800/Asia-Nepal-Renamed-Nepalese-Peaks Asia, Nepal, Renamed Nepalese Peaks”] . Alpine Journal. 1983. Access 2 november 2017. The mountain also is sometimes called Thangnaktse, and at a local level it is sometimes called Charpate, which means "square", describing the shape of mountain peak.Young Hoon Oh (28 juni 2014).
