List of mountains in Asia
The highest mountains in Asia are included in this list . All elevations with a notch height of at least 500 meters are included. The list is complete in the range of 7200 to 8848 meters above sea level . The list is thus congruent with a list of the highest mountains on earth . The highest mountain outside of Asia is the 6961 meter high Aconcagua in the Argentine Andes .
See also: Highest Mountain
The mountains listed here are divided between the Karakoram (48 mountains), Himalayas (47 mountains), Hindu Kush and Pamir (4 mountains each) and Daxue Shan , Tian Shan and Central Tibet (1 mountain each). Another list includes the highest mountains in other Asian mountains.
Terms
As mountains all surveys that are at least 500 meters higher are considered to be the highest adjacent pass that leads to the next highest mountain. All other surveys are considered secondary peaks and are not included in the list. The term Schartenhöhe describes the height difference between a mountain peak and the highest notch. A notch is a ridge cut between two peaks.

The highest mountains in other Asian mountains
Remarks
- ↑ The Gyala Peri is sometimes included in the Namcha Barwa Range. Although less than 22 kilometers away from Namcha Barwa, both mountains are separated by the Tsangpo (Brahmaputra). The river is considered to be the northern and eastern borders of the Himalayas.
