Gurla Mandhata

Gurla Mandhata, 7728 m. (23,355 ft.), with Mt. Kailas to the left in the distance as seen from Tinkar Lipu Pass looking northeast. The Taklikot Lamasery is at center left beneath Gurla Mandhata. Photo courtesy of August Gansser from Throne of the Gods.



The highest peak of the Himalaya in our image area, Gurla Mandhata, is only of average height compared to the many other tall peaks of the Himalaya Mountains. The Nepali-Tibetan border passes to the right and very near the peak in the picture above.
