Gipmochi, Mountain summit in Lower Himalayas, Bhutan.
The Gipmochi peak rises to an elevation of 4,427 meters in the Lower Himalayas, marking the border between Sikkim and Bhutan.
British surveyors first mapped Gipmochi in 1850 during Joseph Dalton Hooker's explorations, leading to its inclusion in geographical records of the region.
Local communities refer to Gipmochi as Gyemo Chen, meaning 'The Great Queen', reflecting its status in regional mountain traditions.
Access to Gipmochi requires advanced planning and careful consideration of weather conditions, with approaches available through Jelep-La and Nathu-La passes.
The mountain serves as a disputed tri-junction point between China, India, and Bhutan, with different territorial claims affecting its geopolitical status.
