Claim: Kula Kangri is a territory of People's Republic of China (Kula Kangri, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2005-11-13): The northern region consists of an arc of glaciated mountain peaks with an extremely cold climate at the highest elevations. Most peaks in the north are over 23,000 feet (7,000 m) above sea level; the highest point is claimed to be the Kula Kangri, at 24,780 feet (7,553 m), but detailed topographic studies claim Kula Kangri is wholly in Tibet and modern Chinese measurements claim that Gangkhar Puensum, which has the distinction of being the highest unclimbed mountain in the world, is higher at 24,835 feet (7,570 m). Watered by snow-fed rivers, alpine valleys in this region provide pasture for livestock, tended by a sparse population of migratory shepherds. The Black Mountains in central Bhutan form a watershed between two major river systems: the Mo Chhu and the Drangme Chhu. Peaks in the Black Mountains range between 4,900 feet and 8,900 feet (1,500 m and 2,700 m) above sea level, and fast-flowing rivers have carved out deep gorges in the lower mountain areas. Woodlands of the central region provide most of Bhutan's forest production. The Torsa, Raidak, Sankosh, and Manas are the main rivers of Bhutan, flowing through this region. Most of the population lives in the central highlands.

Claim: Kula Kangri is a territory of People's Republic of China (Kula Kangri, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2021-05-07): China has long renounced the 19th-century claims by Qing emperors—repeated by Mao Zedong in the 1930s—to sovereignty over Bhutan and other Himalayan states. Relations between China and Bhutan have been amicable since the early 1970s, when Bhutan supported China’s entry into the United Nations. As one Chinese official put it recently, the two countries are "friendly neighbors linked by mountains and rivers." But as with China’s other Himalayan neighbors, the legacies of colonialism and conflict have left behind uncertain borders. Since 1984, China and Bhutan have held 24 rounds of talks to settle their disagreements over those mountains and rivers, and this April they agreed to hold the 25th round "at an early date." (The 24th round was held in August 2016, just before the main construction work in the Beyul began.) Bhutan has shown remarkable flexibility in these talks—early on, probably in the 1980s, Thimphu quietly relinquished its claim to the 154-square-mile Kula Khari (sometimes written as Kulha Kangri) area on its northern border with China, describing that claim as due to "cartographic mistakes."

Evidence (2024-10-08): Border negotiations [edit]Border negotiations between Bhutan and China began in 1972 with India's participation. However, China sought the exclusion of India.[10] Bhutan commenced its own border negotiations with China in 1984. Prior to putting forward its claim line, it carried out its own surveys and produced maps that were approved by the National Assembly in 1989. Strategic expert Manoj Joshi states that the Bhutanese voluntarily shed territory in the process.[76] Other scholars noted a reduction of 8,606 km2 area in the official Bhutanese maps. The Kula Kangri mountain, touted as the tallest peak in Bhutan, has apparently been ceded to China.[77] [...] On 29 June 2017, Bhutan protested the Chinese construction of a road in the disputed territory.[96] The Bhutanese border was put on high alert and border security was tightened as a result of the growing tensions.[97] On the same day, China released a map depicting Doklam as part of China, claiming, via the map, that all territory up to Gipmochi belonged to China by the 1890 Anglo-Chinese treaty.[98]

Evidence (2024-01-01): The northern region consists of an arc of glaciated mountain peaks with an extremely cold climate at the highest elevations. Most peaks in the north are over 23,000 feet (7,000 m) above sea level; the highest point is claimed to be the Kula Kangri, at 24,780 feet (7,553 m), but detailed topographic studies claim Kula Kangri is wholly in Tibet and modern Chinese measurements claim that Gangkhar Puensum, which has the distinction of being the highest unclimbed mountain in the world, is higher at 24,835 feet (7,570 m).The lowest point is in the valley of Drangme Chhu, where the river crosses the border with India. Watered by snow- fed rivers, alpine valleys in this region provide pasture for livestock, tended by a sparse population of migratory shepherds.
Claim: Kula Kangri is a territory of People's Republic of China (Kula Kangri, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-07-25): The Bhutanese decided to hold boundary talks with China in 1980 and in preparation, began gathering material from their own archives, as well as those available in India and the UK. Data on the Royal Bhutan Army (RBA) patrolling limits, administrative limits and local practices were also ascertained. It was only after this process that the Bhutanese established their claim lines that were plotted on the map that was approved by the members of the 68thsession of the National Assembly in 1989. In the process, Bhutan voluntarily shed territory, though its details were not immediately disclosed. For example, older maps showed the Kula Kangri mountain and its surrounding areas within Bhutan, but the new one showed them clearly in Tibetan territory. [...] In 1997, the king told the 75thsession of the Assembly that the two sides were back to discussing the exchange of the 495 sq km of the Pasamlung and Jakarlung Valleys with the western claims, that included the 89 sq km of Doklam. [vii]Thus the current dispute involves some 764 sq km since the Bhutanese had earlier voluntarily shed some 400 sq km in the north, along with Kula Kangri. [...] It was in the same meeting that Dasho Pema also disclosed, in response to a question about Kula Kangri being shown as part of Tibet, that "due to cartographic mistakes of the map in the olden days" the mountain was shown in Bhutan whereas it was actually "well inside Tibetan territory".

Evidence (2024-05-21): Kula Kangri is claimed by many authorities to be the highest mountain in Bhutan but this is disputed by others, who claim that Kula Kangri is wholly in Tibet. The mountain is part of the Bhutan Himalaya. 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.[3] [...] References [edit]- ^ a b "Kula Kangri, China" on Peakbagger.com.

Evidence (2024-01-01): Asia, Tibet, Bhutan Himalaya, Lhozhag Region, Kula Kangri I (7,538m) (Künla Kangri, Main Peak), Attempt [...] 166km south of Lhasa (90°33'E and 28°13'N), the Kula Kangri massif soars over the greater Himalayan range in Tibet. Rising to 7,538m, the main peak (Kula Kangri I) has six neighboring peaks over 7,000m in Lhozhag of the Tibet Autonomous Region. To the southwest stand Kula Kangri II (7,418m, Central Peak) and III (7,381m, East Peak), while to the northeast are Karejiang I (7,221m) and II (7,045m). The above mountain heights are based on A Guide to Mountaineering in China (The China Mountaineering Association, 1993). A climbing chronicle follows: Kula Kangri I (7,538m, Main Peak):

Evidence (2024-01-01): Kula Kangri Snow Mountain is located in Luozha County, Shannan Prefecture, Tibet, and is known as one of the "Four Holy Mountains" in central Tibet. At an altitude of 7,538 meters, it was one of the "Nine Gods of World Formation" during the Tubo period in Tibet. Standing on the main ridge in the middle of the Himalayas, Kula Kangri consists of three peaks. There are 6 peaks over 7,000 meters standing side by side with Kula Kangri. Looking from a distance, all the peaks stand in one line, like a barrier of ice. Behind the mountain is the Kingdom of Bhutan. [...] Kula Kangri seen in Pumo Yumcuo stretches for thousands of miles, surrounding and protecting this lake like arms. Blue lakes and majestic snow-capped mountains form a beautiful scene. [...] The best time for Kula Kangri trek is generally in early May, early June, September and October. July and August are the rainy season, and the mountain peaks are often covered by clouds and mist, but the landscape sea of clouds can only be seen in this period. At the end of May and early June, it is the season to watch the alpine rhododendrons bloom. The rainy season is over at the end of September, which is the best time to shoot snow-capped mountains as the sky becomes clearer and bluer.

Evidence (2024-01-01): Sketch Map of Kula Kangri [...] On 21 April the assault party consisting of Itani, Sakamoto, Ozaki, and Ohtani, departed from C4 at 10.00 a.m. (Beijing time). The weather was fine, while it was very bad the day before. The temperature was about —30 °C. By negotiating the ice-slope of 40 degrees covered by a little snow, they reached the summit ridge at noon. From here the knife ridge continued to the summit. A huge cornice on the ridge threatened them. The wind was gentle. All members in BC, ABC, and other camps watched them and made contact by transceivers. At 4.15 p.m. they succeeded in reaching the summit of Kula Kangri, 7554 m. The summit was so small that two persons could not both stand on it at the same time. They stayed there about an hour. They enjoyed the splendid panorama. Especially the view of the Bhutan Himalaya including Gankerpun-sum (7541 m) could be seen. They returned back to C3 at 8.30 p.m. [...] Frontispiece: Kula Kangri from Tibet. (Prof K. Hirai)

Evidence (2024-04-21): The book of the 1986 British expedition gives the mountain’s height as 7,550 metres (24,770 ft) and states that Gangkhar Puensum is completely inside Bhutan, whereas the nearby Kula Kangri is completely inside Tibet. Kula Kangri, 7,554 metres, is a separate mountain 30 km (20 mi) to the northeast which was first climbed in 1986. It is variously mapped and described as being in Tibet or Bhutan. [...] In 1998 a Japanese expedition secured permission from the Chinese Mountaineering Association to climb the mountain, but permission was withdrawn because of a political issue with Bhutan. Instead, in 1999, the team set off from Tibet and successfully climbed the 7,535-metre subsidiary peak Liankang Kangri (also known as Gangkhar Puensum North).

Evidence (2023-08-27): Kula Kangri is a majestic mountain peak located in the Himalayas, a range that holds an exceptional position in the world due to its height and grandeur. The peak is situated in the northern region of Bhutan but it is largely acknowledged as being within Tibet, an autonomous region of China. Kula Kangri stands aloof as the highest peak in Bhutan, reaching a remarkable altitude of 7,528 meters above sea level. [...] Kula Kangri’s location puts it on the map as one of the notable peaks in the Tibetan region of China. It is surrounded by other grand peaks of the Himalayas, creating a spectacle that leaves visitors awestruck. It marks the southern end of the Himalayas, straddling the border between Bhutan and Tibet, with its snow-capped peak towering over the surrounding landscape. The mountain also holds cultural significance for the people of Tibet and Bhutan as it is considered sacred in both cultures. [...] Kula Kangri stands as a majestic representation of nature’s grandeur. Located on the boundary between Tibet, China, and Bhutan, this highest peak of Bhutan is a treasure trove of diverse flora and fauna. The region’s geographical location and varying altitude have created a unique biodiversity hotspot, with a wide range of species inhabiting its rugged terrains.

Evidence (2019-11-02): The most elusive part of the great Himalayan Mountains is, perhaps, located in Bhutan. Also known as the "Mountain Fortress of the Gods", the only surviving Buddhist kingdom is home to some of the highest unclimbed mountains in the world. Naturally, no trip to Bhutan can be complete without a salute to the many renowned summits of the region, such as Gangkhar Puensum, Kula Kangri, and Tongshanjiabu. [...] At anelevation of 7538 metres, Kula Kangri is a strong contender for title of ‘the highest mountain peak of Bhutan’. However, there are disputes regarding its exact location – with some claiming that the stunning peak is wholly in Tibet. Nonetheless, it’s a popular pilgrimage destination for both, the Tibetans and Buddhists. Located in a remote area of Northern Bhutan, adjoining the Chinese border, the mountain is surrounded by a several unclimbed peaks, in the range of 6,000 to 7, 000 metres. Interestingly, Kula Kangri’s first ascent was in 1986 by a team of Japanese and Chinese mountaineers.

Evidence (2021-05-07): Gyalaphug is, however, different: It is in Bhutan. Wu and a retinue of officials, police, and journalists had crossed an international border. They were in a 232-square-mile area claimed by China since the early 1980s but internationally understood as part of Lhuntse district in northern Bhutan. The Chinese officials were visiting to celebrate their success, unnoticed by the world, in planting settlers, security personnel, and military infrastructure within territory internationally and historically understood to be Bhutanese. [...] China has long renounced the 19th-century claims by Qing emperors—repeated by Mao Zedong in the 1930s—to sovereignty over Bhutan and other Himalayan states.
