Nanga Parbat, also locally known as Diamer, meaning "Mountain of the Gods," is the world's ninth-highest mountain, rising to an elevation of 8,126 meters (26,660 feet) above sea level. It is situated in the Gilgit-Baltistan region of Pakistan-administered Kashmir and lies just south of the Indus River near the northernmost bend in its course. Geographically, Nanga Parbat constitutes the western anchor of the Himalayan Range and forms the westernmost point of all peaks over 8,000 meters in height. Due to its immense height, steep slopes, and unfavorable weather, it has been labeled the "Killer Mountain" as a result of the large number of climbers who have lost their lives while trying to scale it.
