The world’s highest mountains are mainly located in the Himalaya and Karakoram ranges, spreading across Nepal, Pakistan, India, and China. These majestic peaks are known for their extreme height, difficult climbing conditions, and global geographical importance. They play a key role in shaping climate patterns and river systems across Asia.
