Nine hours to the top of Pakistan's Nanga Parbat Mountain

Wang Qi from China Plus News traveled up the 8,126 meters to the summit of the world's 9th highest mountain, Nanga Parbat, in Pakistan. After a 3-hour jeep ride, a 5-hour horse ride and a one-hour walk, he finally finished his trip to this magnificent summit last week. 

It is the western anchor of the Himalayas around which the Indus river skirts into the plains of Pakistan. Locally, the mountain is called "Diamir" (pronounced Deo Mir) which literally translates to "huge mountain".

Nanga Parbat is one of only two peaks on earth that rank in the top twenty of both the highest mountains in the world, and the most prominent peaks in the world, ranking ninth and fourteenth respectively. The other is Mount Everest, which is first on both lists.
