Climbing
First ascent1986

Kula Kangri is a mountain in the Eastern Himalayas that has an elevation of 7,538 metres (24,731 ft,) making it the 45th highest mountain on Earth and one of the Ultras of the Himalayas.[4][5]

Chinese and Japanese authorities claim nearby Gangkhar Puensum is higher, and the claim that Kula Kangri is in or on the border with Bhutan is challenged.[6] Bhutan has relinquished its claim to Kula Kangri in the 1980s.[6]

Peaks

The current consensus height is 7,538 m (24,731 ft).[1] A former height given was in the past 7,554 m (24,783 ft),[7] but other sources had the current height by 2011.[2] To its east within 2.5 km (1.6 mi), it has central and eastern peaks that are 7,418 m (24,337 ft) and 7,381 m (24,216 ft) high.[1]

Climbing history

The first ascent was made by a combined Japanese and Chinese team with 25 Japanese and 17 Chinese members in 1986.[8]
