❍ Introduction
Mount Everest is the highest mountain all over the world. It's located in Nepal and rises to 29,029 feet (8,850 meters). The mountain was first climbed by Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay in 1953. K2 is another famous peak that lies on the border between China and Pakistan. It rises to 28,251 ft (8,611 m) above sea level and has never been successfully climbed by humans because of its extreme weather conditions—the most dangerous being avalanches caused by winds blowing at speeds up to 200 mph (320 km/h). Kangchenjunga is another giant Himalayan peak located on India's border with Nepal; it rises over 25000 ft above sea level making it third tallest mountain after Everest & Makalu!
❍ Mount Everest

K2 was first climbed by a Norwegian expedition in 1954—but because of its high risk factor and dangerous conditions for climbers, only one person has ever reached the summit: Willi Unsoeld (a member of this team).
❍ Kangchenjunga
Kangchenjunga is the third highest mountain in the world and also located in Nepal. It is part of the Himalayan range, which runs from Pakistan to Tibet. The mountain was first climbed during 1961 by a British expedition led by John Hunt who reached its summit at 6:30 pm on May 28th after four days climbing!

The first summit was first climbed by Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary on 31 May 1953. Their ascent party consisted of Hannelore Schoefeler from Austria; Willi Unsoeld from Alaska; Peter Habeler and Hans Kammerlander from Switzerland; Pertemba Sherpa (Sherpas were local Sherpa people who helped out with logistics); Herman Buhlman from Germany; Tshering Bhote Sherpa (Sherpas were local Sherpa people who helped out with logistics), Georg Freundlmayr; Ernst Fuchs from Austria; Heinrich Harrer from Austria/Austrian climbers); Fritz Kainz André Wintner
❍ Makalu

The mountain was first climbed by a British expedition in 1950 under the leadership of Colonel Charles Bruce-Kellet. The peak was first ascended by an American team led by Charles Houston in 1956 via its west side, which was not until two years later that it was successfully climbed from east to west via its south face.[6] The second ascent took place five years later when a Japanese team reached its summit on 22 June 1959.
❍ Manaslu
Manaslu is the eighth highest mountain in the world. It has an elevation of 8,156 meters (26,759 feet) and its peak lies at an altitude of 7.7 km (24 miles). This makes it one of only two mountains that can be seen from both sides at once - Mount Everest being the other one.
Manaslu was first climbed by a British expedition led by Eric Shipton in 1955; however, it was not until 1963 when another British team made another attempt at reaching this summit. They were unsuccessful because avalanches prevented them from proceeding any further during their climb up to Base Camp 4 at 5500 meters (18000 feet).
❍ Nanga Parbat
Nanga Parbat is the 9th highest mountain .. It's located in Pakistan, and it has an elevation of 8125 meters (26,660 feet).

❍ Conclusion
The world is full of mountains that are taller than all others combined. From the tallest peaks, such as Mount Everest and K2, to the most famous ones like Annapurna I or Kangchenjunga, it’s easy to get lost in their sheer size and beauty. However, these mountains are not just impressive for their size; they also have many different faces that make them unique and fascinating places to visit! For example: Mt Everest has many glaciers underneath its peak where you can hike down into icy waterfalls while experiencing nature at its finest; while Lhotse Peak has steep slopes where climbers try and reach higher altitudes by climbing up steep cliffs .
