The fourth highest mountain in the world is Lhotse.
Lhotse stands at an impressive height of 8,516 meters (27,940 feet) and is located in the Himalayas on the border between Tibet and the Khumbu region of Nepal. It is closely associated with Mount Everest, as the two mountains share a portion of the same climb. The name ‘Lhotse’ translates to ‘South Peak’ in Tibetan, which reflects its geographical positioning relative to Everest.
First summited on May 18, 1956, by a Swiss expedition, Lhotse is known for its dramatic south face, which poses some of the most challenging climbing conditions in the world. Its proximity to Everest makes it a popular destination for climbers seeking to test their skills and endurance in high-altitude mountaineering.
