Kalurong or Kalaxung is a mountain located in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China. It is a part of Lhagoi Kangri belt, which is a heteroclite juxtaposition of subranges that is compressed between the Yarlung Tsangpo (Brahmaputra River) river to the north and the Assam Himalaya to the south.

Location

[edit]

The mountain has two summits — Kalurong North, which is located at 6,674 m (21,896 ft)[1] above sea level and Kalurong South, which is located at 6,536 m (21,444 ft). The superstructure of the mountain is in Central Tibet, south of the Karo La pass. Both the summits are connected through a saddle at 6,314 m (20,715 ft).[2]

Climbing history

In September 2005, a Japanese expedition led by the Keio University Alpine Club made the mountain's first ascent.[2]
