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.[citation needed]
Climbing history
The first ascent was by a combined Japanese and Chinese team in 1986.[3]
