With an objective of maintaining systematic records of the successful eight thousanders, geographic flora and fauna and human activities in the range, the International mountain Museum has been established at foot step of fishtail peak and the gate way to the mountain region. The International Mountaineering Museum has four main exhibition halls with 12 sub-divisional halls.
