## Location and geography

The mountain lies in Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad, a province of the Zagros fold-and-thrust belt in southwestern Iran. Its coordinates place it at 30.4907° north and 50.9002° east, and the open location code 8H2GFWR2+73 identifies the same point.<sup>[1](https://mapcarta.com/12609912)</sup> The GeoNames database records the feature under the name Kuh-e Hami in Kohgiluyeh va Buyer Ahmad at slightly different rounded coordinates, 30.4925° N, 50.900276° E.<sup>[3](https://www.islamicfinder.org/id/world/iran/1272/)</sup>

Several localities surround the peak. The area of Pazīr lies about 3.5 km to the east and the locality of Tang Tīseh about 4 km to the northeast; farther out are Khānehhā-ye ‘Ashāyerī-ye Barābar (6 km northeast), Kūhsārak-e ‘Olyā (7 km north), and Cheshmeh Reshteh (7 km northeast).<sup>[1](https://mapcarta.com/12609912)</sup>

## Neighboring summits

Kuh-e Hami rises among a cluster of named mountains. Kūh-e Marīz stands 3.5 km to the west and Kūh-e Gonāveh 5 km to the west, Kūh-e Kows̄arak 5 km to the north, and Kūh-e Konār 6 km to the south. The Emāmzādeh Seyyed Moḩammad Shrine, a religious site, lies 6 km to the northeast.<sup>[1](https://mapcarta.com/12609912)</sup>

## Elevation and prominence

Sources give slightly different heights. The GeoNames-derived record used by Mapcarta states an elevation of 3,200 meters (10,499 feet),<sup>[1](https://mapcarta.com/12609912)</sup> while the climbing-history summit list and the [West Asia](https://www.edgepedia.org/west-asia) ultra-prominence lists both record 3,190 m.<sup>[2](https://climbing-history.org/summits/location/Iran)</sup>

In comparative terms, Kuh-e Hami is far below Iran's highest point, Kūh-e Damāvand at 5,610 m, and below the highest Zagros peaks such as Kūh-e Dīnār at 4,409 m, but its large prominence distinguishes it from the many lower subsidiary summits of the range.<sup>[4](https://worldmeasure.com/mountains/iran)</sup>
