Mountains in asia and their location Continue Wikipedia's List of Asian Terrain articles This page lists the highest natural altitude of each sovereign country on the geographically defined Asian continent. Countries sometimes associated with Asia politically and culturally, but not as a geographical part of Asia, are not included in this list of physical characteristics (with the exception of Cyprus - marked with an N/A rating). Not all of the points on this list are mountains or hills, some are simply in distinguishable altitudes as geographical characteristics. Notes are provided in case of territorial disputes or conflicts affecting the list. Some countries such as Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Russia (Elbrus) have part of their territory and their high points outside Asia; Their non-Asian high scores are listed with an N/A rated entry below their continental peak. Three other entoes from the most recognized countries with the highest scores in Asia are listed and ranked in Inalic. For more details, see List of states with limited recognition.
