Which of the following is a mountain between India and Nepal?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Kanchenjunga.

Kanchenjunga is the mountain located between India and Nepal. It is the third-highest peak in the world (8,586 m) and lies on the border of Sikkim (India) and eastern Nepal. The name means 'Five Treasures of Snow' in Tibetan.

Other options:

  1. Makalu (8,485 m) – The fifth-highest mountain, located entirely in Nepal near the China border.

  2. Manaslu (8,163 m) – The eighth-highest peak, situated entirely in Nepal.

  3. Dhaulagiri (8,167 m) – The seventh-highest mountain, located entirely in Nepal.

While all these peaks are in the Himalayas, only Kanchenjunga straddles the India-Nepal border.
