Kanjiroba

Kanjiroba rises to 6,883 meters above sea level, standing as the highest point within the Kanjiroba Himal range of the Himalayas.

British explorer John Baird Tyson led the first comprehensive mapping expedition of the Kanjiroba region during the 1950s, documenting its geographical features.

The mountain territory encompasses numerous Buddhist monasteries where local communities maintain traditional practices shaped by the surrounding high-altitude environment.

Mountaineers access the peak during spring through early summer, requiring special permits and experienced guides to navigate the technical climbing routes.

The mountain creates a natural rain shadow effect, resulting in distinct climate zones and ecosystems on different sides of its slopes.
