Description

Wikipedia

Api, also known as Api Himal, is the highest peak in the Yoka Pahar section of the Gurans Himal, a subrange of the western Himalayas. It is located in Darchula District of Sudurpashchim Province, in the far northwestern region of Nepal, near the country's international border. Standing at an elevation of 7,132 metres (23,399 ft), Api is known for its dramatic rise from the surrounding terrain, making it one of the most prominent peaks in the region despite being relatively less frequented by climbers. It is a little-known peak in a rarely visited part of the Himalayas, but it rises dramatically over the low surrounding terrain.
