We are not interested in your experiences, take a hike.

You can call GB whatever you want to. The ground reality is that anyone who wants to visit GB would have to get visa from Islamabad and not Delhi. That is what matters.

Stop trying to pick a fight mate. Had I edited my post after you posted it would say so at the bottom right of my post. You are the blithering liar here if anyone is. Now go do something worthwhile with your time, or better yet go see an optometrist, looks like you need vision correction.

There is no itch, its idiotic to say the K2 is taller than Everest, cause it says so in some nondescript book.

You are worthless piece nobody is interested in picking fight with likes of you...you had an itch you had to show your hindustanism since you are caught reading the Title of the thread wrong in the first place...over the topic when reminded you quickly edited your post and added his Quote such a liar.

Stop stop don't go any further who said what you fooled yourself read title wrong that's all how it started....still you shameful for editing and puting his Quote in your post later which was not there initially only after my post you took action to coverup your stupidity.

Are you for real? If someone edits a post after 5 minutes of the original post, it shows there in the very post, ask the admins if you don't believe me. You posted 13 mins after I did, so if I did edit my post (which I didn't) it would say so at the bottom of the post.

Stop making a fool out of yourself and showing your pakistaniat. Give it a rest now eh?

@WebMaster, sorry for the bother, but can you tell Mr Think Tank here whether my post number #12 Tallest Mountains in the World was edited by me or not. He seems to be hallucinating and making personal attacks.

1. Everest Nepal/China
View attachment 35521
29,035 feet (8,850 meters)
The tallest mountain above sea level is located on the border of Nepal and Tibet in the Himalayan mountain range.

Everest was given its official English name in 1865 by Andrew Waugh, a British Surveyor General for the Royal Geographical Society. In 1953, mountaineers Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay of a British expedition became the first people to ever set foot on Everest.

Compared to K2, Everest's standard route does not pose substantial technical difficulty for mountain climbers. Everest is a popular tourist spot, despite the Nepalese government's requirement that all prospective climbers obtain a permit, which can cost each person upwards of $25,000.

2. K2 (Chogori) Pakistan/China
View attachment 35522
28,251 feet (8,611 meters)

Known as the "Savage Mountain," K2 has the second highest fatality rate of all the eight-thousanders, according to the eight-thousanders' official Web site, 8000ers.com. For every four people that successfully reach its summit, one has died trying.

Located on the border of Pakistan and China, K2 has severe weather conditions and a high risk of avalanches. The mountain is so perilous that is has never been climbed during the winter, with expeditions typically attempted in June, July or August.

The mountain was given the name K2 by British surveyor Thomas George Montgomerie in 1852 while he was conducting the Great Trigonometric Survey. While the survey made it a point to use the local names for mountains wherever possible, K2 did not appear to have a local name at that point.

3.Kanchenjunga Nepal/India
View attachment 35523
28,169 feet (8,586 meters)

Kanchenjunga translates to "The Five Treasures of Snows" and was given this name because it has five peaks, four of which are more than 27,700 feet (8,450 meters) tall. Resting on the India-Nepal border, Kanchenjunga has varied ecological zones which range from subtropical forests to glacial wilderness .

Kanchenjunga is called Sewalungma in the local Limbu language; the name means "Mountain That We Offer Greetings To," and is considered sacred in the Kirant religion. Its five peaks represent the sacred spaces where God stores his treasures, which are gold, silver, gems, grain and holy books.

The religious beliefs of the locals are so respected that when British mountaineer Charles Evans climbed the mountain in 1955, the expedition stopped a few yards short of the summit and did not touch its peak.

4.Lhotse Nepal/China
View attachment 35524
27,940 feet (8,516 meters)

The most rarely climbed 8,000-meter peak in Nepal, Lhotse adjoins Mount Everest and it is impossible to climb its peak solo.

In 1990, a mountaineer named Tomo Cesan claimed to have reached Lhotse's summit alone, but after a Russian expedition climbed the summit and declared that it would be impossible for anyone to reach it alone, Cesan recanted and said that he had actually only reached the summit's ridge.

5.Makalu Nepal/China
View attachment 35525
27,838 feet (8,485 meters)

The only eight-thousander to possess an isolated peak shaped like an icy four-sided pyramid, Makalu was first climbed in 1955 by a French expedition led by Jean Franco.

Located just 14 miles (22 kilometers) east of Mount Everest, the mountain is exceptionally hard to climb and only five of its initial 16 summit attempts were successful.

Makalu's name is believed to be taken from the Sanskrit word Maha-Kala, which translates to Big Black and is also a by-name of Shiva, a Hindu god.

6.Cho Oyu Nepal/China
View attachment 35526
26,864 feet (8,188 meters)

Compared to Dhaulagiri, Cho Oyu is easier to climb and its summit can be reached in roughly three weeks. The mountain was first climbed in 1954 by Herbert Tichy, Joseph Jöchler and Sherpa Pasang Dawa Lama during an Austrian expedition.

The mountain's friendly terrain and snow conditions have made it an increasingly popular destination for ski mountaineers and snowboarders.

7. Dhaulagiri Nepal
View attachment 35527
26,795 feet (8,167 meters)

Dhaulagiri means "White Mountain" in Sanskrit and was named by Max Eiselin, who led a Swiss expedition to its summit in 1960. This was the first Himalayan climb supported by an aircraft, but after the plane crashed, it was abandoned and left in a valley north of the mountain and the mountaineers continued their trek.

Dhaulagiri, located in north central Nepal, has a topography consisting of ridges, glaciers and ice falls. It boasts technically challenging routes and massive drops and is therefore mostly attempted only by seasoned mountaineers.

8. Manaslu Nepal
View attachment 35528
26,781 feet (8,163 meters)

Located in the Mansiri Himal part of the Nepalese Himalayas, Manaslu translates to "Mountain of the Spirit" and is known for its beautiful valley glaciers and steep, snowy peaks. Prone to avalanches, glacier falls,monsoon rainfall and landslides, Manaslu's various scenic trekking routes are also treacherous.

Reaching the mountain's summit was not even attempted until the early 1950s, and the first climbers to successfully do so were the Japanese explorers Toshio Imanishi and Gyalzen Norbu, who mounted the summit in 1956.

9. Nanga Parbat Pakistan
View attachment 35529
26,657 feet (8,125 meters)

Nanga Parbat means "Naked Mountain" in Urdu and is also known by the name Diamir, or the "Dwelling Place of the Fairies." Its dangerousice-covered terrain has also earned it the nickname "deadly mountain," as more than 60 mountain climbers have lost their lives attempting to scale the mountain, according to NASA.

Climbing Nanga Parbat is in fact so dangerous that while over 1,800 people have reached Everest's summit, only about 216 people have successfully gotten to the top of Nanga Parbat.

10. Annapurna I Nepal
View attachment 35530
26,545 feet (8,091 meters)

The tenth highest mountain in the world, Annapurna I is located in western Nepal, while its smaller sister mountain Annapurna II is in the east. The name Annapurna translates to Goddess of the Harvests in Sanskrit, and is the name of a goddess of fertility and agriculture in Hinduism.

French mountaineers Maurice Herzog and Louis Lachenal were the first to reach Annapurna's summit in 1950, in the process becoming the first people in the world to climb a peak over 26,247 feet (8,000) meters. During the perilous journey, frostbite and gangrene forced the expedition doctor to perform emergency amputations, removing both of the explorers' toes and most of Herzog's fingers without anesthetic.
