Langtang Ri, Mountain summit in Rasuwa, China.
Description
Langtang Ri is a mountain peak in the Langtang Himal range standing at about 7,205 meters (23,638 feet). The slopes are steep and rocky, with permanent snow and ice covering the higher elevations.
History
The mountain was formed over millions of years as the Indian tectonic plate collided with the Eurasian plate. This ongoing geological process continues to shape the Himalayan range and the surrounding landscape.
Culture
Local communities in the valleys below practice Tibetan Buddhism and view the surrounding peaks as sacred. These beliefs shape daily life and customs throughout the region.
Practical
Climbers access the peak through base camps and require specialized mountaineering equipment and multiple rest days for acclimatization. Good physical fitness and high-altitude climbing experience are essential for a safe ascent.
Did you know?
Several glaciers on the mountain help scientists track climate changes and environmental shifts in high mountain areas. The pace of ice loss here affects water supplies for communities in the valleys below.
