Gimmigela Chuli, Himalayan summit in Taplejung, India.
The mountain reaches an elevation of 7,350 meters and contains two peaks, forming a natural boundary between Nepal and the Indian state of Sikkim.
In October 1994, climbers Taroh Tanigawa, Koji Nagakubo, and Yuichi Yoshida achieved the first successful ascent of Gimmigela I after previous attempts ended in tragedy.
The name Gimmigela reflects the local languages, with variations including Gimmigela Čuli in Czech and जिमीगिला चुली in Hindi, representing regional linguistic diversity.
The mountain requires advanced mountaineering skills as the terrain consists of glaciers, snow fields, and ice formations throughout the climbing routes.
The mountain features a notable subpeak called Gimmigela II at 7,005 meters, which stands entirely within Indian territory and earned the name 'Gimmigela's Sister'.
