ASIA CLICKABLE MAP AND INDEX

Index map of the 20 regions for Asia's Ultra-Prominent Summits


Many of the grouping follow national boundaries (shown in red).  However some areas (particularly High Asia) are best described by their natural topography; these boundaries are shown in orange.   Afghanistan, China, India, Malaysia, Pakistan and Russia appear on more than one listing.  All other nations appear on only one list.
