Nuptse is situated in the Khumbu Himal just southwest of Mount Everest.
The name Nup-tse is Tibetan and means west peak, as it is the western part of the Lhotse-Nuptse-massif.
The main ridge, which is separated from Lhotse by a 7556m high saddle,
is crowned by 7 peaks and goes west-northwest until its steep west-face
drops down more than 2300m to the Khumbu-glacier.
