The 22 mountain ranges in the quiz

The Himalayas are the highest: Mount Everest reaches 8,849 m / 29,032 ft. Next come the Karakoram (K2, 8,611 m) and the Hindu Kush (Terich Mir, 7,708 m).

Elevations come from Wikidata, for each range’s highest peak, and the outlines from Natural Earth.

Playing in class

Point mode is the place to start; Type mode marks a mountain range on the map for you to name (accents and small typos are forgiven), and Timed mode gives 6 seconds per question. With Challenge your class, everyone gets the same questions in the same order, no accounts needed.

To practice on paper, the matching blank map prints blank, numbered or labeled.
