8 highest mountains in the world, which are in Nepal !

Nepal is a country rich in beautiful mountain ranges. Nepal has eight of the world's 10 highest peaks above 8,000 meters. Here we have presented a picture of those 8 high mountains. 

Everest, the highest peak, is introducing Nepal to the world. However, the other seven peaks are not much talked about. The remaining seven high mountains in Nepal are Makalu, Kanchenjunga, Lotse, Choyu, Dhaulagiri, Manaslu and Annapurna.

Although the Everest is crowded, a small number of foreign climbers come to climb these seven peaks. This is due to lack of publicity. 

Tourists say that the attraction of foreign climbers in these mountains has not increased due to lack of necessary publicity.

Mohan Lamsal, former general secretary of the Trekking Agencies Association of Nepal (TAN) and a tourism entrepreneur, says, "I have traveled to more than three dozen countries around the world to promote tourism. Mount Everest is more easily known than the country. But people don't know about other mountains. ' 

Lamsal says that even though many foreigners show interest in seeing Mt. Everest, it is not easy to come to Nepal. He said, "Now is the time for e-commerce, but due to the lack of laws for e-commerce, we have not been able to attract as many tourists as we should."
