How many 8000+ meter peaks does the Himalayas have ?

Which mountain ranges have 8000+ peaks ?

torryquine · Nov 30th, 2005, 20:31

There are fourteen 8,000m peaks, all of them are in the Himalaya.

Now, who was the first man to climb them all?

babu got that right
6) brahmaputra in east and indus in west
7) both rise near kailash-mansarover in tibet
8) both runs 2,900 kms but indus drains 963,500 sq km, about 28,000 sqkm large then brahmaputra
9) indus is known as 'singhe kabab' and brahmaputra as 'tsangpo or Yarlung tsangpo'

OK, you are talking about ‘Sherpa Somnath Norgay’

Ha ha ha….
Wish I could reach any one of 8000m peaks in my life. Now it is too late

to think about it but I can dream to reach the base camp at least.

But no one answered my question. Any guess work?

Ed Veisters is the 1st man to have climbed all the 8000+ peaks - i think.

I think..he climbed the highest mountain one every continent.

Sutlej and Ganges.

babuchand · Dec 1st, 2005, 20:02

no way ganga has originated from any place near mount kailash.....
gangotri gl slides down from the north west face of cowkhamba massif.

mt kailash is near manas sarovar...so again ans are indus and bhramhaputra...

sutlej may be a possible ans too....
