What are the highest mountains on the planet: not everyone knows about it

Some mountain peaks are so impressive that not all climbers dare to conquer them.
However, such geographical objects always attract the attention of tourists.
Which mountains are the highest?
Everest
It is reasonable to assume that this mountain is the most important in the life of a mountaineer, since not everyone who wants to conquer it succeeds.
Even professionals prepare for the climb for many years, as the event is mortally dangerous.
The mountain is over eight thousand meters high. The summit was first conquered only in the fifties of the last century.
Everest is located on the territory of China and Nepal.
Chogori
The height of this mountain also looks impressive: it is lower than the leader of the rating by only a couple of hundred meters. The ascent of Chogori for the first time took place almost simultaneously with the conquest of Everest.
The second highest peak in the world is located on the territory of Pakistan and China.
Kanchenjunga
The height of the peak is just over 8.5 thousand meters, which is quite an impressive figure. You can climb to the top from India or Nepal.
An interesting fact is that this mountain "does not like" the fair sex: in its entire history, only one resident of Great Britain managed to achieve what she wanted.
Many other women died trying to conquer the dangerous mountain.
