Question: Which Is the Highest Peak in India?
A. Mount Everest
B. Nanda Devi
C. Kanchenjunga
D. Kamet
Answer: Option C
The highest peak in India is Kanchenjunga. It has an elevation of 8,586 meters (28,169 feet) above sea level. Kanchenjunga is located in the eastern Himalayas on the border between Sikkim (India) and Nepal. It is the third-highest mountain in the world, after Mount Everest and K2.
Mount Everest is taller, but it lies entirely in Nepal and China, so it is not considered India's highest peak. Nanda Devi (7,816 m) is the highest peak located entirely within Indian territory, but still shorter than Kanchenjunga.
