Nanga Parbat Expedition 2012


Nanga Parbat is the ninth highest mountain on Earth. Nanga Parbat means "Naked Mountain" in Urdu, Parbat deriving from the Sanskrit word Parvata, meaning "mountain" Nanga Parbat was one of the deadliest of the eight- thousanders  for climbers in the first half of the twentieth century; since that time it has been less so, though still an extremely serious climb. It is also an immense, dramatic peak that rises far above its surrounding terrain. Nanga Parbat is the western anchor of the Himalayas, and is the westernmost eight- thousander. It lies just south of the Indus River, in the Astore District of the Northern Areas
