Alpomish Peak is the highest point in Uzbekistan, with an elevation of 4,668 metres (15,315 feet). The mountain is located located on the border of Uzbekistan's Surkhondaryo Region and Tajikistan's Sughd Region, in the Gissar Range.^[3][4]

Prior to August 2023, Khazret Sultan was considered to be Uzbekistan's highest point, with an elevation of 4,643 metres (15,233 feet).^[5]

In August 2023, an expedition by country highpointers Eric Gilbertson & Andreas Frydensberg set out into the Gissar Range with the intent to summit Uzbekistan's highest point.

Prior to the expedition, both Gilbertson and Frydensberg noticed a peak on the map six kilometres (3.7 miles) to the south of Khazret Sultan known as Alpomish, that had a reported elevation higher than that of Khazret Sultan.

They climbed both Khazret Sultan and Alpomish, and used professional survey equipment to determine Alpomish's altitude to be 4,668 metres (15,315 ft) above sea level, making it 25 meters higher than Khazret Sultan and therefore the true country highpoint of Uzbekistan.^[3][5]
