14 Highest Mountains in the World

There are only 14 mountains in the world which are over 8000m / 26247ft above sea level. They are known as the ‘eight-thousanders’. These mountains are all located in the Himalayan and Karakoram mountain ranges – across Nepal, Tibet (China) and Pakistan.

Climbing to the summit of all 14 eight-thousanders is regarded as a mountaineering challenge and as at 2019 only 40 mountaineers have achieved this. The Himalayan Database captures many of these ascents.

So we have created a trekking challenge – to trek to the base camps of the world’s 14 highest mountains over 8000m – Project Base8000 – which in itself is a challenge of high altitude and logistics, even though we will not be climbing to the summits.

You can read more about each mountain, and our perspective as trekkers, by following the links below. We will continue to update these pages as we learn more and progress on our adventure.

The 14 highest mountains in the world, in order of height, are:

1. 1. Everest 8848m / 29028ft Himalaya Nepal, China.
   2. K2 8611m / 28250ft Karakorum Pakistán, China.
   3. Kanchenjunga 8586m / 28169ft Himalaya Nepal, India.
   4. Lhotse 8516m / 27940ft Himalaya Nepal, China.
   5. Makalu 8463m / 27766ft Himalaya Nepal, China.
   6. Cho Oyu 8201m / 26906ft Himalaya Nepal, China.
   7. Dhaulagiri 8167m / 26795ft Himalaya, Nepal.
   8. Manaslu 8163m / 26781ft Himalaya, Nepal.
   9. Nanga Parbat 8125m / 26660ft Himalaya, Pakistán.
   10. Annapurna I 8091m / 26545ft Himalaya, Nepal.
   11. Gasherbrum I 8068m / 26469ft Karakorum, Pakistán, China.
   12. Broad Peak 8047m / 26400ft Karakorum, Pakistán, China.
   13. Gasherbrum II8035m / 26362ft Karakorum, Pakistán, China.
   14. Shishapangma8012m / 26285ft Himalaya, China.

The 14 highest peaks in the world, which exceed 8,000 meters in height, were climbed in 6 months and 6 days. What does this Nirmala Purji album mean to us? Everything is expressed in her catchphrase: “Maybe!” The first ascent of the eight thousand (Annapurna) will soon be 70 years old. So it was an incredible achievement, a feat. Now 14 eight thousand is no longer considered an exceptional climbing achievement. And any climber of medium ability who is motivated enough and has free time can put together such a collection. He can set as a goal: to climb all the peaks, he can simply walk one mountain after another and limit himself to the simplest. But the main thing remains – he must be attentive and careful, he must not miss the little things and prepare, train. And it is better to walk safely, with experienced companions, better guides. The snow-capped giants of the Himalayas and Karakoram are fabulously, divinely beautiful, and climbing them is an invaluable and vivid life experience, a whole gamut of emotions that you want to experience again and again. Although it should be remembered and never forgotten: the Himalayas can be completely ruthless and insidious, they can severely punish the slightest laxity or inaccuracy. And sometimes be unfair = Nirmala Purji 14 eight thousand project completed.
