Geladaindong Peak, Mountain summit in Haixi Mongol and Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, China

The Geladaindong Peak rises to 6,621 meters within the Tanggula Mountain Range, dominating the surrounding landscape with numerous glaciers and snow-covered slopes.

The Japanese mountaineering team achieved the first recorded ascent of Geladaindong Peak in 1985, establishing the initial route through the northwest ridge.

The mountain name originates from Tibetan language traditions, reflecting the cultural heritage of local communities in the Qinghai Province region.

Mountaineers can reach the base location through the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, which passes approximately 100 kilometers east of the mountain range.

The peak and surrounding area provide natural habitats for rare species including white-lipped deer, snow leopards, and Asiatic wild donkeys.
