Rongme Ngatra, Mountain summit in Dêgê County, China
Rongme Ngatra rises to an elevation of 6,168 meters, featuring substantial glaciers on its northern and eastern faces above Lake Yihun Lhatso.
The first recorded ascent of Rongme Ngatra, the highest peak in the Chola Mountains of western Sichuan, took place in 1988.
The mountain carries different names across cultures, known as Que Er Shan in Mandarin Chinese and holds particular importance in the Kham region.
Mountaineers can access Rongme Ngatra through the town of Manigango, requiring specialized equipment and acclimatization due to the extreme altitude.
