Lines of equal height across the country, from the Deccan plateau to the Karakoram. Drag to pan, use the buttons to zoom, and tap a peak or pass for its height and where the figure comes from.
Heights. The contours come from the NOAA NCEI ETOPO 2022 global relief model, the 60 arc-second grid (cells about 1.8 km wide). Land is banded at 100, 250, 500, 1,000, 1,500, 2,000, 3,000, 4,000, 5,000, 6,000 and 7,000 m, and the lines were traced and simplified for this page.
Why summits look lower on the grid. A 1.8 km cell averages the ground under it, so narrow ridges and summits are flattened. In this grid, the cell nearest Kangchenjunga reads about 7,900 m, against its stated 8,586 m. That is why the peak and pass heights below are not read off the grid. They are the figures in each place's Wikipedia infobox as of September 2026, where sources can differ by a few metres (Nanda Devi is often given as 7,816 m, for example) and some passes have disputed heights (Khardung La is often quoted far higher than 5,359 m). Jelep La's source gives 14,390 ft, converted here.
Outline. Natural Earth 1:10m countries, India (ind) point-of-view version, public domain. Terrain outside the outline is drawn faded for context.
Left out. Peaks and passes that sit on or beside disputed lines (Saltoro Kangri and Lipulekh, for example) are not marked. State borders are not drawn yet.
