Api is the highest peak in the Yoka Pahar Section of Gurans Himal, part of the Himalayas in the extreme northwest corner of Nepal, near the border with Tibet.[3][failed verification] It is a little-known peak in a rarely visited part of the Himalayas, but it rises dramatically over the low surrounding terrain.[citation needed]
