The name "Nanga Parbat" comes from Sanskrit. "Nanga" means "naked" or "bare," and "Parbat" means "mountain." Therefore, "Nanga Parbat" literally means "The Naked Mountain" or "The Bare Mountain." It was given this name because its steep rocky slopes and snow-covered faces are clearly visible from a distance, with very little forest cover. Standing at 8,126 meters (26,660 feet), it is the ninth-highest mountain in the world. Due to the many lives lost during climbing expeditions in the past, it is also known as "The Killer Mountain.
