Kangphu Kang

Kangphu Kang, also known as Shimokangri, is a Himalayan mountain. It is the 107th tallest peak in the world, standing at 7,204 meters (23,635 feet) above sea level. The summit is located on the Bhutan-China border (Tibet).

A high ridge that does not dip below 7,000 meters connects the mountain's western and eastern summits. A 15-kilometer north ridge, containing a 6,902-meter top, forks off the main divide from the lower western summit. From the west peak, the main ridge descends sharply to a 6,040 m pass that separates it from Jejekangphu Kang. The main ridge slopes southeast from the east peak to a 6,220 m pass that leads to Kangphu Kang II or Dop Kang on the other side.

A South Korean expedition ascended Kangphu Kang's north face for the first time on September 29, 2002. You can see the gigantic Kangphu Kang at the head of this large, U-shaped valley after crossing the river on a bridge. The Kangphu Kang is a place of incredible natural beauty that you must visit on your visit to Bhutan.
