Kangri Karpo

[3] The highest peak of the Kangri Karpo, Bairiga or Ruoni, rises in the central portion of the range to an elevation of 6,882 m (22,579 ft) above sea level.The mountains here are in the direct path of the northeast-moving South Asian monsoon which leads to Kangri Karpo being the wettest location on the Tibetan Plateau.The Tibetan Poyul Kingdom enjoyed relative independence on the Kangri Karpo's northern slopes until the early 20th century.[3] To the south of the Kangri Karpo are the Mishmi Hills which lie primarily in Arunachal Pradesh, India but are also claimed by China.[9][10] The northern portion of the Kangri Karpo are skirted by China National Highway 318 and have become a popular scenic destination for Chinese tourists.
