Answer: S

Removing S from PLANES and unscrambling the remaining letters gives you Nepal. Eight of the world's ten largest mountains can be found along Nepal's border in the Himalaya mountain range, including Mount Everest which has a pretty interesting story behind its name.

He stated that there was no way to write or pronounce the name Everest in Hindi, however the Royal Geographical Society didn't seem to care much for his opinion and named the mountain Everest anyway.
