Highlights worth a visit
A hand-picked sample. There are many more on the country high points tracker.
Mount Everest, Nepal/China
Unique fact: At 8,849 meters, Everest is the highest point on Earth and the highest point for both Nepal and China (Tibet). The summit is so high that jet streams can blow across it, and the "death zone" above 8,000m has claimed over 300 lives.
Why visit: Stand at the roof of the world where only about 6,000 people have ever summited. Even reaching Base Camp at 5,364m is a life-changing trek through stunning Himalayan scenery.
Denali, United States
Unique fact: At 6,190 meters, Denali is the highest peak in North America and rises higher from base to summit than Everest. The mountain creates its own weather systems and has some of the coldest temperatures ever recorded on Earth.
Why visit: Experience true Alaskan wilderness on a peak visible from over 100 miles away. Whether summiting or viewing from Denali National Park, this mountain commands respect and awe.
Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania
Unique fact: At 5,895 meters, Kilimanjaro is Africa's highest peak and the world's tallest free-standing mountain. It's also the highest point you can reach without technical climbing equipment, making it accessible to determined trekkers.
Why visit: Trek through five distinct climate zones from tropical rainforest to arctic summit. Watch the sunrise from Uhuru Peak as the shadow of Kilimanjaro stretches across the African plains below.
