The places here stretch 360 km from Lumbini in the west to Nuptse in the east. Learn where Nuptse is and you are close on five photos, because Khumbu, Kala Patthar, Sagarmatha National Park and Ama Dablam are all within 45 km of it.
The photos split into five easy, two medium and six hard. The hard ones include Machhapuchhre, Nuptse and Himalchuli. The easy ones are Chitwan National Park, Dhaulagiri, Manaslu, Sagarmatha National Park and Lumbini. Ama Dablam is the 'Mother's Necklace', a 6,812-metre peak often called the most beautiful in the Himalayas.
The daily in the app mixes photos from all 167 countries in the game, five a day, the same five for everyone.
