Kula Kangri
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ranked 45th
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.[1][4]
Bhutan once claimed Kula Kangri.[5] The claim was relinguished in the 1980s, with Bhutan attributing it to a cartographic error.[5] The current borderline runs through the higher Gangkar Puensum.
Kula Kangri is considered one of the four sacred mountains of Central Tibet.[6]
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]
