Kula Kangri is a mountain in the Eastern Himalayas that has an elevation of 7,538 metres (24,731 ft,) making it the 45th highest mountain on Earth and one of the Ultras of the Himalayas.^[4][5] It is disputed between Bhutan and China, with China claiming that Kula Kangri is fully in the Tibet Autonomous Region.

Chinese and Japanese authorities claim nearby Gangkhar Puensum is higher, and the claim that Kula Kangri is in or on the border with Bhutan is challenged.^[6]

The current consensus height is 7,538 m (24,731 ft).^[1] A former height given was in the past 7,554 m (24,783 ft),^[7] but other sources had the current height by 2011.^[2] To its east within 2.5 km (1.6 mi), it has central and eastern peaks that are 7,418 m (24,337 ft) and 7,381 m (24,216 ft) high.^[1]

The first ascent was made by a combined Japanese and Chinese team with 25 Japanese and 17 Chinese members in 1986.^[8]
