Mahalangur is a mountain range that includes the eastern Himalayas of Nepal. The Mahalangur range extends from northeastern Nepal to the southern-central part of Tibet. This range is adorned with four of the fourteen tallest mountains in the world: Everest, Cho Oyu, Lhotse, and Makalu. Mahalangur is also an essential range for mountain flights, as this region separates the Kathmandu Valley from the Upper Himalayas of Nepal.
