NH = Nepal-Himalaya, Kk = Karakorum,
SH = Sikkim-Himalaya, KH = Kashmir-Himalaya
The altitudes of the Nepalese mountains are taken from the Finnmaps and for the Karakorum mountains they are from the Chinese snow map. The altitude of Shisha Pangma was taken from the Austrian Alpine Club map, it was revised recently also on Chinese maps!

There are several different subsidiary peaks! Here are the geographical facts, from the one "relative independent Main-Peak" (EU category B) over the important subsidiary peaks (C) to the major notable points (D1) Especially the last category is just guessed by contours or from photographs. If climbers pass the connecting cols in the future, it would be appreciated, if they would give altitude information about those points! With help from the DLR the Annapurna I subsidiary peaks are now correct calculated.
