MOST DIFFICULT & DEADLY MOUNTAIN TO CLIMB
MANASLU, NEPAL
The eighth-tallest peak in the world, Manaslu, is in Nepal. The mountain is located close to the Tibetan border in the center of Nepal. Manaslu’s North-East face provides access to the mountain’s 8163-meter summit. The landscape is comparable to that of Everest. Many mountaineers find it to be challenging and a very spectacular landscape. In 1956, Toshio Imanishi and Nepalese Sherpa Norbu became the first people to summit Manaslu. The goal of many Japanese mountain climbers is to reach the peak of this mountain.
NANGA PARBET, PAKISTAN
Nanga Parbat is a mountain in Pakistan’s Gilgit-Baltistan region that rises 8,126 meters. The peak is also known locally as “Diamer,” which means “big mountain.” Amazing vistas can be seen by standing at the mountain’s Fairy Meadows base. But climbing the peak is extremely risky and challenging. Because so many people have perished while attempting to climb it, it is also known as “Killer Mountain.” To make climbing simple, one must arm themselves with the newest gear.
ANNAPURNA, NEPAL
The tenth tallest mountain in the world is Annapurna. It is a well-liked trekking mountain. The mountain still has the highest death rate in the world (32%), though. The walk along the Annapurna Circuit offers the best views of Dhaulagiri and is the most well-known area of the mountain. The Nepali Annapurna has an elevation of 8091 meters.
