Diran is a pyramid-shaped mountain in the Karakoram range, rising in the Bagrot Valley of Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan, to an elevation of about 7,266 meters. It stands immediately east of Rakaposhi, which at about 7,788 meters is the higher of the two peaks. This entity documents Diran specifically as a geological formation, a pyramid-shaped Karakoram summit standing beside Rakaposhi.
