Six additional Himalayan peaks are proposed for separate international recognition
All six peaks exceed eight thousand metres in height
Recognition would increase Nepal’s count to fourteen out of twenty worldwide eight‑thousand‑metre peaks
The proposal was brought forward at the International Climbing and Mountaineering Federation’s General Assembly
Each of these mountains is higher than eight thousand metres, which is extremely tall
If accepted, Nepal will have fourteen of the world’s twenty tallest mountains
The request was presented at a global meeting of mountain‑climbing groups in Kathmandu
