Question: Which mountain is taller, Nanda Devi or Masherbrum?

<P0-S0>  At 7821 m it is the 22nd highest mountain in the world and the 9th highest in Pakistan. <P0-S1> Masherbrum (Urdu: ‎ ; formerly known as K1) is located in the Ghanche District, Gilgit Baltistan of Pakistan. <P0-S2>  It was the first mapped peak in the Karakoram mountain range, hence the designation "K1". <SEP> <P1-S0> Valley of Flowers National Park is an Indian national park, located in West Himalaya, in the state of Uttarakhand and is known for its meadows of endemic alpine flowers and the variety of flora. <P1-S1>  This richly diverse area is also home to rare and endangered animals, including the Asiatic black bear, snow leopard, musk deer, brown bear, red fox, and blue sheep. <P1-S2>  Birds found in the park include Himalayan monal pheasant and other high altitude birds. <P1-S3>  At 3352 to 3658 meters above sea level, the gentle landscape of the Valley of Flowers National Park complements the rugged mountain wilderness of Nanda Devi National Park to the east. <P1-S4>  Together, they encompass a unique transition zone between the mountain ranges of the Zanskar and Great Himalaya. <P1-S5>  The park stretches over an expanse of 87.50 km and it is about 8 km long and 2 km wide. <P1-S6>  Both parks are encompassed in the Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve (223,674 ha) which is further surrounded by a buffer zone (5,148.57 km). <P1-S7>  This Reserve is in the UNESCO World Network of Biosphere Reserves since 2004. <SEP> <P2-S0> The three-week-long Nanda Devi Raj Jat is a pilgrimage and festival of Uttarakhand in India. <P2-S1>  People from the entire Garhwal division-Kumaon division as well as other parts of India and the world participate in Nanda Devi Raj Jat Yatra. <P2-S2>  The goddess Nanda Devi is worshipped at dozens of places in Kumaon and Garhwal, but the region around Mt. Nanda Devi and its sanctuary, which falls in the Pithoragarh district, Almora district and Chamoli district, is the prime area related to Nanda Devi. <P2-S3>  In Chamoli, Nanda Devi Raj Jaat is organized once in 12 years. <P2-S4>  The Jaat (meaning Yatra or pilgrimage) starts from Nauti village near Karnprayag and goes up to the heights of Roopkund and Homekund with a four horned sheep. <P2-S5>  After the havan - yagna is over, the sheep is freed with decorated ornaments, food and clothings, and the other offerings are discarded. <SEP> <P3-S0> Nanda Devi is the second highest mountain in India, and the highest located entirely within the country. <P3-S1>  (Kangchenjunga, which is higher, is on the border of India and Nepal.) <P3-S2>  It is the 23rd-highest peak in the world. <P3-S3>  It was considered the highest mountain in the world before computations in 1808 proved Dhaulagiri to be higher. <P3-S4>  It was also the highest mountain in India before 1971 when Sikkim, the state in which Kangchenjunga is located, joined the Republic of India. <P3-S5>  It is part of the Garhwal Himalayas, and is located in the state of Uttarakhand, between the Rishiganga valley on the west and the Goriganga valley on the east. <P3-S6>  The peak, whose name means "Bliss-Giving Goddess", is regarded as the patron-goddess of the Uttarakhand Himalaya. <P3-S7>  In acknowledgment of its religious significance and for the protection of its fragile ecosystem, the peak as well as the circle of high mountains surrounding it—the Nanda Devi sanctuary—were closed to both locals and climbers in 1983. <P3-S8>  The surrounding Nanda Devi National Park was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1988.
