Up Everest Base Camp » Day 07 - Dingboche-Lobuche Prev Next Slideshow

Our first look at Nuptse. Nuptse (7841m/ 25726 ft.) is (like Lhotse) part of the same mountain system as Everest. It happens to be the edge of the wall that obscures Everest to viewers from the south. Several photographs of Everest have Nuptse for company sometimes looking deceptively taller. Its rank in the list of the highest mountains in the world is No. 19
