Lunag Ri, Mountain summit in Rolwaling Himal, Nepal
The Lunag Ri mountain rises to 6,895 meters in elevation, featuring three glaciers: Lunag on the southern flank, Nangpag on the east, and Shalong on the northern slope.
David Lama completed the first recorded ascent of Lunag Ri on October 25, 2018, following two previous attempts with Conrad Anker that ended due to severe weather conditions.
The Solukhumbu district surrounding Lunag Ri maintains strong connections with Sherpa communities who provide expert mountaineering guidance and preserve local mountain traditions.
Climbers access Lunag Ri through the town of Phaplu, which serves as the primary base for organizing expeditions and gathering necessary mountaineering supplies.
The mountain stands 11.7 kilometers west of Cho Oyu, with its southeastern secondary peak, Jobo Rinjang, reaching an elevation of 6,778 meters.
