Tibet Kailash 11 Back 06 Gang Benchen to right, Shishapangma in clouds to left From Near Peiku Tso  [6 of 23]


Our Landcruiser had a small problem with everybody trying to help the driver Sadim fix it. On the right of the truck is Gang Benchen (also spelled Gang Benchnen, Chinese: Kangpenqing, 7281m), which was first climbed in 1982 by a Japanese expedition. Many websites show photos of Gang Benchen, but mistakenly call it Shishapangma. Above the Landcruiser with its head in the clouds is Shishapangma.
