Nuptse is a 7,861 metres (25,791 ft) mountain in the Himalayas range, in Nepal. It not considered an independent peak but as a part of Lhotse. If it was, however, it would be the 20th highest mountain in the world. It is a very dangerous mountain to climb. The first people to reach the top were Dennis Davis and Sherpa Tashi, in 1961.
