Description
Nanga Parbat (literally, Naked Mountain ; Urdu : ننگا پربت [nəŋɡaː pərbət̪] ) is the ninth highest mountain in the world at 8,126 metres (26,660 ft) above sea level. It is the western anchor of the Himalayas around which the Indus river skirts into the plains of Pakistan . It is located in the Gilgit-Baltistan region of Pakistan and is locally known as 'Deo Mir' ('देओ मीर')('Deo' meaning 'huge') ('mir' meaning 'mountain').[2]
Nanga Parbat is one of the eight-thousanders , with a summit elevation of 8,126 metres (26,660 ft).[3] An immense, dramatic peak rising far above its surrounding terrain, Nanga Parbat is also a notoriously difficult climb. Numerous mountaineering deaths in the mid and early 20th century lent it the nickname "killer mountain".
