Practice MapMountain Peaks of India & the Himalayas — Map & List
This map covers India and its high-mountain neighbourhood together — the subcontinent's great peaks, from Everest and Kangchenjunga on the Nepal border to K2 and Nanga Parbat in the Karakoram, and Nanda Devi and Kailash within India's own Himalayan and trans-Himalayan zone.

Covers the Karakoram, Great Himalaya & Kumaon/Garhwal ranges
Everest, K2, Kangchenjunga, Nanda Devi & more
Only 2 of the commonly-tested peaks lie entirely within India
How are the peaks grouped?
By mountain range rather than by height: the Karakoram (K2, Nanga Parbat) in the northwest, the Great Himalaya (Everest, Kangchenjunga, Annapurna, Dhaulagiri) along the Nepal border, and the Kumaon/Garhwal peaks (Nanda Devi, Trisul) within Indian territory. That grouping matches how these peaks are actually taught, and makes the border distinction below far easier to remember.
Which of these peaks are actually inside India?
Of the commonly-tested set, only Kangchenjunga and Nanda Devi sit entirely within India — Everest, K2, Nanga Parbat, Annapurna and Dhaulagiri all lie in neighbouring countries. That's exactly the distinction most exam questions are built to check, so it's worth learning before the exact elevation figures.
