Top 5 Highest Mountain in the World

Makalu

Makalu is an isolated peak located 22km east of Mount Everest, that has the shape of a four-sided pyramid. Considered one of the most difficult mountains in the world to climb, because of its steep pitches and knife-edged ridges that go up to 8,462 metres (27,762 ft).
4. Lhotse

Lhotse is best known (for professional climbers) for its direct connection or proximity to Mount Everest via the South Col and the fact that its tremendous south face is the steepest face of this size in the world : rises 3.2 km (1.98 mi) in only 2.25 km (1.4 mi) of horizontal distance. Maximum elevation is 8,516 metres (27,940 ft).
3. Kangchenjunga

Kangchenjunga – “The Five Treasures of Snows” – is the third largest mountain in the world and consists of five peaks with four of them, above 8,450 m high. Buttressed by great ridges roughly from the east to the west and from north to south, the large massif of Kangchenjunga is formed as a giant ‘X’. Highest elevation is at 8,586 metres (28,169 ft).
2. K2

K2 is located in the Northern part of Pakistan and is part of the Karakoram segment in the Himalayan range. Famous for its nickname (if we can call it that way) – the Savage Mountain – it’s famous for the fact that out of four people who try to climb on K2, one of them dies trying. It’s the second deadliest mountain in the world. Highest elevation is 8,611 metres (28,251 ft).
1. Mount Everest

Mount Everest is officially the highest mountain in the world, with its highest peak at 8,848 metres (29,029 ft) above sea levels. Climbing on the Everest is not that hard, but that doesn’t mean anyone can do it. Specialized help is needed and that doesn’t come in cheap, not to mention the gear needed. 210 died while trying to climb the Everest, most of them in the “death zone” where the conditions are extremely critical (the amount of oxygen cannot sustain human life).
