Nanga Parbat
Nanga Parbat in Urdu (meaning Naked Mountain) 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.
To the north, the complex, somewhat more gently sloped Rakhiot Flank rises 7,000 m (22,966 ft) from the Indus River valley to the summit in just 25 km (16 mi), one of the 10 greatest elevation gains in so short a distance on Earth.
