Option 3 : Dhaulagiri I

The correct answer is Dhaulagiri I.

  • Dhaulagiri I is also known as the ‘White Mountain’.
  • Dhaulagiri, at 8,167 metres above sea level, is the world's seventh-tallest mountain and the highest mountain within a single country's borders (Nepal).
  • A Swiss-Austrian-Nepali expedition climbed it for the first time on May 13, 1960.
  • Dhaulagiri is 34 kilometres east of Annapurna I (8,091 metres).
  • The Kali Gandaki River flows between them in the world's deepest gorge, the Kaligandaki Gorge.
  • Pokhara is a major regional city and the gateway for climbers and trekkers exploring both ranges, as well as a tourist destination in its own right, located south of the Annapurnas.

  • Cho Oyu, at 8,188 metres above sea level, is the world's sixth tallest peak.
  • Lhotse, at 8,516 metres, is the world's fourth-highest peak, behind Mount Everest, K2, and Kangchenjunga.
  • At 8,485 metres, Makalu is the world's fifth-highest peak. It is 19 kilometres southeast of Mount Everest in the Mahalangur Himalayas, on the boundary between Nepal and China's Tibet Autonomous Region.
