The Highest Mountains In The world

We all know what it is. The highest mountain in the world… But do any of us know which is the second, third, or fourth highest mountain in the world? Fame is everything. At least in this world it is too materialistic and based on the success we have to live for.

But of course, there is a world of mountains behind Mount Everest, the tallest mountain in the world, and believe it or not, the top ten highest mountains in the world are all in Asia. do we know it?

Mount Everest

The highest mountain in the world is Mount Everest it is 8.848 m high and is located in the Himalayas of Tibet, the Autonomous Region of China. The first Europeans climbed in 1953 by Tenzing Norgay and Sir Edmund Hillary.

Everest has books, photo collections, and even movies. And today, there is no shortage of photos that accuse the top of becoming Mecca-like. And it's scary with so many people lining up to get there!

Every year during the climbing season, people from all over the world come to unite basecamp and summit. Those not that high still enjoy the arduous hike up to the camp itself.

Karakoram mountain

This mount lies between Pakistan and China and is 8.611 meters long. It is usually abbreviated as an abbreviation. K2 and its name are given by the notation used in Great Triangulation in British India. At that time, the mountain did not seem to have a proper name, so the name remained.

Many people refer to this mountain as a 'wild mountain', but if you actually watch the new version of the movie Limit Point (breakpoint), it will look familiar to you. The 90's movie starring Keanu Reeves featured several dangerous surfers as protagonists, but in the remake, the surfer becomes a climber. And from there K2 enters.

A difficult mountain, difficult to climb, much more than his sister. K2 tIt has the second mortality rate in terms of climbing. Of all the mountains about 800 meters high. A total of 77 successful summit climbs resulted in 300 deaths.

Kanchenjunga

This mountain is located in the Himalayas, between Nepal and India, with a height of 8.586 m. Three peaks lie on the borders of the two countries and the other two are within the Taplejung district of Nepal.

This is not because we do not know the existence or height of Everest, which was the highest mountain in the world until 1852, but because the calculation was wrong. After new research, it turns out that, in fact, Mt Kangchenjunga isn't the highest mountain in the world... if not the third!

Lhotse

Even in the Himalayas, between Nepal and Tibet. 8.516 meters is really close to Mount Everest because it's actually a very famous mountain. The route to the summit of Lhotse is the same as the way from Everest Base Camp to Mount Everest, passing through Camp 3, and from Lhotse Face to the Rice Corridor.

We can say that Lhotse is: Everest's younger brother. Less attractive, always less crowded, and although the main peak was first reached in 1956, the site is known as Lhotse Middle remained unexplored for decades. In the end, it reached its climax at the hands of the Russian expeditionary force in 2011.

Makalu

This mountain is also in the Himalayas, 8.485 meters between Nepal and Tibet. It is the third mountain to exceed 8000 m in the Everest Massif in Nepal. The French expedition first reached its peak in 1955.

This was quite significant as there were a total of 10 explorers going up, which at the time was common for three to four out of the whole group to be lucky.

Cho Oyu

It is in the Himalayas, 8.188 meters between Nepal and Tibet. It is ranked 8th among the highest mountains in the world and is the 7th highest among mountains at 3m.

It's a "nice" mountain despite its height. It is one of the easiest to climb. why? This is because the slope is gentle and climbs little by little. It is also close to Nang La Pass, a few kilometers from the popular trade route between Tibet and Khumbu Sherpa.

Dhaulagiri

This mountain is located in Nepal and is 8.167 meters tall. It looks very simple and first peaked on the 13th of October 1960. It is popular on the Annapurna Circuit because it looks perfect.

Annapurna Circuit is the best place to go if you love trekking. It is a wonderful Himalaya trail that covers 145 km of mountain scenery. Crossing the Thorong-La Pass at 5.416m, the highest in the world, you reach the world's deepest Kali Gandaki Canyon, five times deeper than the Grand Canyon.

In any case, the postcard is even more surprising and overwhelming because the mountain is isolated and separated from the rest of the world by the same canyon.

Manaslu

It is located in the mountains of Nepal and reaches a height of 8.163 meters. Its name comes from the Sanskrit «Manasa«, meaning soul or intellect. Toshio Imanishi and Gyalzen Norbu first attempted to peak on the 9th of September 1965 in a Japanese expedition.

His screams were not without controversy. The locals seem to have warned the expedition not to climb to the top of everything, as previous attempts angered the gods and caused an avalanche that killed 18 people...

The expedition donated money to rebuild the ruined monastery, but still had no luck, and the summit was only achieved through a new Japanese expedition in 1971.

Nanga Parbat

This towering mountain is in Pakistan and is 8.126 meters high. It is located within the Diamer district of the Gilgit-Baltistan region west of the Himalayas. Its name also comes from Sanskrit and means "naked mountain".

It is surrounded by green valleys on high mountains everywhere. Rural Face is beautiful at 4.600 meters from the base.

Annapurna I

This mountain is located in Nepal and is 8.091 meters high. It is one of the best-known mountains in the world and that is because of the trekking circuit we talked about before. It may be in position 10, but unfortunately, it has the highest mortality rate among climbers on the whole list. We just listed.

32% are attempting to reach the pinnacle of death. What it does is circle the mountain and provide views from Dhaulagiri to the mountain pass of Annapurna Massif. It is very popular because there is a route that continues to the summit of Annapurna Sanctuary, which is only a base camp.

So far, we have introduced the 10 highest mountains in the world. Do you know what the number 11 is? Gasherbrum Mountain I, 8.080 m above sea level on the border of China and Pakistan.
