What is the highest mountain in the Himalayas of Bhutan?

The highest mountain in the Himalayas of Bhutan is Gangkhar Puensum.

Gangkhar Puensum rises to approximately 7,570 metres and stands on the Bhutan–China border in the northern Himalayas. Its Dzongkha name is commonly translated as “White Peak of the Three Spiritual Brothers,” reflecting the mountain's importance in Bhutanese religious tradition. It is generally identified as Bhutan's highest peak.

The mountain is also renowned as the world's highest unclimbed mountain. Several expeditions attempted it after Bhutan opened limited mountaineering access in the 1980s, but none reached the summit. Bhutan prohibited climbing peaks above 6,000 metres in 1994 and banned mountaineering entirely in 2003.

Maps and surveys have disagreed about the precise location of the summit because the Bhutan–China boundary remains disputed in this region. That uncertainty explains occasional claims involving Kula Kangri, another major border peak. Chomolhari, also called Jomolhari, is a famous Bhutanese mountain, but at about 7,314 metres it is lower than Gangkhar Puensum.
