Top 10 Highest Mountains in the World Hello, Desplorers! Welcome to another exciting video presented to you by Desplore. In this video, we shall be taking you into the world of geography and shining the light on the top highest mountains in the world. The prominence of a peak is the minimum height of climb to the summit on any route from a higher peak or from sea level if there is no higher peak. The lowest point on that route is the core. Height, on the other hand, simply means elevation of the summit above sea level. If you are new here, welcome! Be sure to subscribe and turn on notifications so you don't miss any of our videos. There are several mountains in the world which are of incredible height, but here are the top 10 highest mountains in the world. 10. Annapurna 1, Nepal, Height 8.091m Annapurna is a massif in the Himalayas in north-central Nepal that includes 1 peak over 8,000m, 13 peaks over 7,000m, and 16 more over 6,000m. The massif is 55km long and is bounded by the Kali-Kandagi Gorge on the west, the Mahashangdi River on the north and east, and the Pokhara Valley on the south. At the western end, the massif encloses a high basin, the Annapurna Sanctuary. The highest peak of the massif, Annapurna 1 main, is the 10th highest mountain in the world at 8,091m above sea level. Maurice Herzog led a French expedition to its summit through the north face in 1950, making it the first of the 8,000 there's to climb and the only 8,000m peak to be conquered on the first try. Annapurna 1 may be only the 10th highest mountain in the world, but it actually has a higher fatality rate than any other mountain, with 32 of attempts to reach the top of the mountain resulting in a fatality. Far more popular than the summit attempt is the Annapurna Circuit Trek, which circumnavigates Annapurna 1 and takes in views from the Daula Giri to the mountain passes of the Annapurna Massif. Treks to the Annapurna Sanctuary, the base camp for climbing to the peaks of Annapurna, are also increasingly popular. 9. Nanga Parbat, Pakistan Height 8.126m Nanga Parbat, locally known as Dhyama, is the 9th highest mountain in the world at 8,126m above sea level. Located in the Dhyama district of Pakistan's Gilgit-Baltistan region, Nanga Parbat is the western anchor of the Himalayas. The name Nanga Parbat is derived from the Sanskrit words Nanga and Parvata, which together mean naked mountain. The mountain is locally known by its Timbetan name Dhyama or Deomir, meaning huge mountain. Nanga Parbat is one of the eight thousanders, an immense dramatic peak rising above its surrounding terrain which is also notoriously difficult to climb. Numerous mountaineering deaths in the early and mid-twentieth century landed the nickname Killer Mountain. 8. Manaslu, Nepal Height 8.163m Manaslu is the 8th highest mountain in the world at 8.163m above sea level. It is located at the Mansiri Himal, part of the Nepalese Himalayas in the west-central part of Nepal. Its name, which means mountain of the spirit, comes from the Sanskrit word Manasa, meaning intellect or soul. Manaslu was first climbed on May 9, 1956 by Toshio Imanishi and Gyoza Nobu, members of a Japanese expedition. It is said that just as the British consider Everest their mountain, Manaslu has always been a Japanese mountain. Manaslu is the highest peak in the Gorkha district and is located 6 to 4 km east of Annapurna. The mountain's long ridges and valley glaciers offer feasible approaches from all directions and culminate in a peak that towers steeply above its surrounding landscape and is a dominant feature when viewed from afar. The Manaslu region offers a variety of trekking options with the popular Manaslu trekking route of 177 km skirt, the Manaslu Massif over the pass down to Annapurna. 7. Daulagiri, Nepal Height 8.167m The Daulagiri Massif in Nepal extends 120 km from the Kaligandaki River west to the Beri. This massif is bounded on north and southwest by tributaries of the Beri River and the southeast by Myakdi Kola. Daulagiri is the 7th highest mountain in the world at 8.167m above sea level and the highest mountain within the borders of a single country, Nepal. It was first climbed on May 13, 1960 by a Swiss-Austrian-Nepali expedition. The mountain is one of the most aesthetically stunning mountains and is perhaps best known for its visibility on the popular Annapurna Circuit, with Annapurna just 34 km away and the Daulagiri a regular feature on the skyline while trekking Annapurna. The mountains are separated by the world's deepest gorge, the Kaligandaki Gorge, so it's not a part of the world that's particularly struggling for scenery. 6. Cho Oyu, Himalayas, Nepal, Tibet Autonomous Region, China, Height 8.188m The fourth and final member of the Everest region's 8,000-meter club is Cho Oyu, the 7th highest mountain in the world at 8.188m. Cho Oyu is considered the easiest of the 8,000 mountains to climb due to the gentler slopes of the ascent. It is also just a few km away from the Nangpa La Pass, a major glaciated trailing route between the Timbetan and Khumbu Sherpas. Cho Oyu means turquoise goddess in Timbetan. The mountain is the westernmost major peak of the Khumbu subsection of the Mahalangu Himalaya 20 km west of Mount Everest. The mountain stands on the China-Nepal border. 5. Makalu, Himalayas, Nepal, Tibet Autonomous Region, China, Height 8.485m Makalu is the 5th highest mountain in the world at 8.485m. It is located in the Mahalangu Himalayas, 19 km south-east of Mount Everest, on the border between Nepal and Tibet Autonomous Region, China. One of the 8,000 Makalu is an isolated peak whose shape is a four-sided pyramid. Makalu has two notable subsidiary peaks, Kangchukse, or Makali II, lies between 3 km north-north-east of the main summit. Rising about 5 km north-northwest of the main summit across a broad plateau and connected to the Kangchukse by a narrow 7,200-saddle is Choma Lonzo. Makalu is the 3rd of the four 8,000m high mountains in the Everest Massif in Nepal. It was first climbed a French expedition led by Jean Franco in 1955. Their ascent was most notable for the fact that a full 10 members of the expedition team climbed the mountain on the trip. In those days, it was normally only one or two climbers from each team who reached the top of the mountain on an expedition, so this was a huge deal at that time. 4. Lhotse, Himalayas, Nepal, Tibet Autonomous Region, China. Height 8.516m. Lhotse is the 4th highest mountain in the world at 8,516m. Part of the Everest Massif, Lhotse is also connected to the later peak via the South Goal. Lhotse means South Peak in Tibetan. In addition to the main summit at 8,516m above sea level, the mountain comprises the smaller peaks Lhotse Mido at 8,414m and Lhotse Shar at 8,383m. The summit is on the border between Tibet and China and the Khumbu region of Nepal. Lhotse is one of the more famous mountains largely because of its proximity to Mount Everest. The route of Lhotse is the same as that of Mount Everest. From Everest Base Camp and then depart from the raised couloir from the Lhotse face, from where the peak of Mount Lhotse is reached. Lhotse is a little like the neglected younger sibling of Mount Everest. Everest gets all the attention while Lhotse, though often considered more visually attractive, is significantly less busy. While the main summit of Lhotse was first climbed in 1956, the Lhotse Mido actually remained the highest unclimbed named point on Earth for decades. It was eventually first killed in 2011 by a Russian expedition. 3. Kangchenjunga, Nepal, India, Height 8,586m Kangchenjunga, also spelled Kangchenjunga, is the third highest mountain in the world. It rises with an elevation of 8,586m in a section of the Himalayas called Kangchenjunga Himal, delimited in the west by the Tamar River, in the north by the Lonak Chu and Jungsang La, and in the east by the Tisda River. It lies between Nepal and Sikkim, India, with three of the five peaks main, central, and south directly on the border, and the remaining two, west and Kangbachen, in Nepal's Tapojung district. Until 1852, Kangchenjunga was assumed to be the highest mountain in the world, but calculations based on various readings and measurements made by the Great Giganometrical Survey of India in 1849 came to the conclusion that Mount Everest, known as Peak 15 at that time, was the highest. Allowing for further verification of calculations, it was officially announced in 1856 that Kangchenjunga is the third highest mountain in the world. Kangchenjunga was first climbed on 25th May 1955 by Joe Brown and George Bandt, who were part of a British expedition. They stopped short of the summit in the accordance with the promise given to the Chilgol that the top of the mountain would remain intact. Every climber or climbing group that has reached the summit has followed this tradition. 2. K2, Karakoram, Pakistan, China, Height 8.611m K2, at 8.611m above sea level, is the second highest mountain in the world. It is located on the China-Pakistan border between Baltistan in the Gilgit-Baltistan region of northern Pakistan and the Tajik Autonomous Country of Xinjiang, China. K2 is the highest point of the Karakoram range and the highest point in both Pakistan and Xinjiang. K2 is known as the Savage Mountain after George Bell, a climber on the 1953 American expedition, told reporters, Of the five highest mountains in the world, K2 is the deadliest, where approximately one person dies on the mountain for every four who reach the summit. Also occasionally known as Chagori or Mount Godwin-Austin, other nicknames for K2 are the King of Mountains and the Mountaineers Mountain, as well as the Mountain of Mountains, after climber Reinhold Menster titled his book K2 is the only 8000m peak that has never been climbed during winter or from its east phase. Ascents have almost always been made in July and August, the warmest times of the year. K2's more northern location makes it more susceptible to inclement and colder weather. The peak has now been climbed by almost all of its ridges. Although the summit of Everest is at a high altitude, K2 is more difficult and dangerous to climb, due in part to its more inclement weather and comparatively greater height from base to peak. As of June 2018, only 367 people have completed the ascent, while 86 people have died attempting the climb, according to the list maintained on the list of deaths on 8000ers. The summit was reached for the first time by the Italian climbers on the 1954 Italian Karakoram expedition led by Ardito De Sio. Mount Everest is Earth's highest mountain above sea level, located in the Mahalangu Himal sub-range of the Himalayas. The international border between Nepal province number one and China-Tibet Autonomous Region runs across its summit point. The current official elevation of 8.848 meters, recognized by China and Nepal, was established by a 1955 Indian survey and subsequently confirmed by a Chinese survey in 1975. In 1865, Everest was given its official English name by the Royal Geographical Society, as recommended by Andrew Woe, the British Surveyor General of India, who chose the name of his predecessor in the post, Sir George Everest. Despite Everest's objections, Mount Everest attracts many climbers, some of them highly experienced mountaineers. There are two main climbing routes, one approaching the summit from the south-east in Nepal, known as the Standard Route, and the other from the north in Tibet. While not posing substantial technical climbing challenges on the Standard Route, Everest presents dangers such as altitude sickness, weather and wind, as well as significant hazards from avalanches and the Khumbu Icefall. As of 2019, over 300 people have died on Everest, many of those whose bodies remain on the mountain. Tenzin Norgay and Edmond Hillary made the first official ascent of Everest in 1953, using the south-east reach route. Everest has become one of the world's most famous multi-day treks.
