Note: If you are looking for topographic maps of the Himalayas, including regions in China, Nepal, Pakistan, India, and Afghanistan, you should look in our Himalaya Maps Section. Due to the contested borders, etc., we use the Himalayas section as a central link to maps in the various country files.
At the moment some placement is arbitrary (the K2 topo map is in China because it was published in China as part of the series of Chinese mountain maps). We hope to address this in the next few weeks. If you have any questions, please contact us at custserv@omnimap.com
