The Nanga Parbat massif (or Nanga Parvata) forms the western part of Himalaya. A group of isolated peaks that emerge from nowhere, surrounded by rivers Indus and Astore. Its present name means the 'naked mountain', but its original name, Diamir, instead meant 'the king of the mountains'. The highest peak, Nanga Parbat, reaching the 8126 meters. © Tina Ponzellini - See the Silk Road map with a complete picture set.
