Yalung Khang (7,505 meter) is situated in northeast Nepal, Taplejung district 1.11 km west of the Kanchanjunga main. In this region other main Himalayan peaks are Kanchenjunga, Khambachen and Jannu (Kumbakarna). This Himalayan peak first ascended on the 14th May 1973 by Japanese expedition team Yutaka Ageta and Takao Matsuda.
