Natural Site

Mountain in Nepal and Tibet

Gaurishankar is a mountain in the Himalayas and the second highest peak of the Rolwaling Himal with an elevation of 7,134 m (23,406 ft). The name comes from the Hindu goddess Gauri, a manifestation of Parvati, and her consort Shankar, a manifestation of Shiva, reflecting the sacred regard it is afforded by the people of Nepal. The Sherpa people name the mountain Jomo Tseringma. Nepal Standard Time is based on the meridian of this mountain peak.
