This post’s hero is the westernmost major Himalayan Peak.
Nanga Parbat (8, 126 metres above sea level) is “our” planet’s 9th highest mountain.
Flights from Islamabad to Skardu pass by Nanga Parbat’s western and northern sides.
In terms of how it stands in relation to the terrain around its base, Nanga Parbat is enormously taller than Everest.
It is often credited as offering an appropriately-located human’s eyes the greatest amount of uninterrupted, solid “up” that a human can see, anywhere.
