The Himalayan peaks are matched to their respective states as follows: K2 (Mount Godwin-Austen) is located in the Karakoram range within the territory of Jammu and Kashmir (specifically the Gilgit-Baltistan region) [2]. Nanda Devi, the highest peak entirely within India, is situated in the state of Uttarakhand [4]. Tara Pahar (also known as Tara Parvat) is a peak located in the state of Himachal Pradesh.
