Tongshanjiabu, Virgin peak in Punakha District, Bhutan and China
Tongshanjiabu mountain reaches an elevation of 7,207 meters, making it the 103rd highest peak in the world, located on the Bhutan-China border.
The territorial disputes between Bhutan and China have affected access to Tongshanjiabu since 1959, when China published maps claiming portions of Bhutanese territory.
The mountain stands at the intersection of Bhutanese and Tibetan traditions, influencing local customs and religious practices in the surrounding communities.
The sensitive border location requires special permits and coordination with authorities from both Bhutan and China for any attempts to approach the mountain.
Tongshanjiabu remains one of the few unclimbed peaks in the Himalayas, with its 1,757-meter prominence rising above the surrounding mountain range.
