Which mountain on the border of Nepal is partially in India? Gurla Mandhata or Kirat Chuli?
Gurla Mandhata Gurla Mandhata, or Naimona'nyi or Memo Nani() is the highest peak of the Nalakankar Himal, a small subrange of the Himalaya. It lies in Burang County of the Ngari Prefecture in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China, near the northwest corner of Nepal. It is the 34th highest peak in the world (using a 500-metre prominence cutoff). It is also notable for being well within the Tibetan Plateau (most peaks of similar height - except notably Shishapangma, the world's 14th highest peak - lie nearer to or outside the edge of the Plateau) and relatively far away from other peaks of height greater than 7500 metres. It sits roughly across Lake Manasarowar from the sacred peak of Mount Kailash. The Tibetan name, "Naimona'nyi", is said to come from "naimo" = "herbal medicine", "na" = "black", "nyi" = "heaped-up slabs", giving "the mountain of heaped-up slabs of black herbal medicine."
Hindutash Hindutash, also known as Hindu-tagh Pass, is a historical mountain pass in the western Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (formerly, Chinese Turkestan) of the People's Republic of China. The pass cuts through the Kunlun Mountains connecting the now-deserted town of "Kangxiwar", formerly Kengshewar, (36° 11' 58" N, 78° 46' 50" E) in the Karakash River valley to the town of Pusha, (36.3833° N, 79° E), formerly Bushia, in the Yurungkash River valley, and also connects to the road to the city of Hotan, formerly Khotan.
