Mount K2 , located in Jammu and Kashmir and also known as Godwin-Austen , is the highest peak of India. The Himalayas range is one of the youngest mountain ranges in the world and consists of many of the highest peaks in the World. Second only to Mount Everest (Sagarmāthā in Nepalese and Chomolungma in China) , Mount K2 (Godwin-Austen/Chhogori) has an elevation of 8,611 meters above sea level. K2, which is situated in the north-eastern Karakoram Range, is located in the Gilgit–Baltistan region. Thomas Montgomerie of the Great Trigonometric Survey of British India ( circa 1849) made the first survey of Karakoram and sketched two most prominent peaks labeling as K1 and K2. K2 is known as the Savage Mountain as it is extremely difficult to scale the peak. It has one of the highest fatality- to summit rate – one death after every four successful summits. Mount Kanchenjunga (also spelled as Kangchenjunga) is located at the border of Nepal and Sikkim (India).
