Kabru, Himalayan summit in Sikkim, India and Taplejung District, Nepal
The Kabru mountain range contains four distinct peaks, reaching an elevation of 7,412 meters above sea level at its highest point.
William Graham claimed the first ascent in 1883, though his achievement faced skepticism due to insufficient documentation of the climb.
The name Kabru originates from local languages, where 'Ka' means white and 'bru' means avalanche, reflecting the mountain's natural characteristics.
Climbers access the mountain through three main routes: Yalung, Talung, and Kabru glaciers, with expeditions typically scheduled during pre and post monsoon periods.
The mountain holds the distinction of being the southernmost peak on Earth exceeding 7,000 meters in elevation.
