The mountain stands just North of the Nepal-Tibet border and divides the headwalls of the Rolwaling himal on the South and the Rongxar on the the North. It has two summits East(7181m, 23559ft) and West(7023m, 23041ft), with 2km's long Ridge between them. Its native name is Jobu Garu or Quageru, but in 1951, when the first westerners, Eric shipton and Mike Ward, visited the Menlung Valley, it got one more Menlungtse.Five jagged ridges strech out fom the summit North-East, South-East, South, South-West and North-West. On the South side the massif is bordered by the Kongbu Rebusan glacier. The approaches to the mountain are from Nepal over the Manlung La pass(5510m, 18077ft), yet an easier way is from Tibet by vehicle along the Rongxar valley. in Spring abundant snows force travellers to make a detour or foot over the Fula Shan pass (5411m, 17752ft). The traditional basecamp called "Bapu" is at 4700m, 15400ft) opposite to the other beautiful peakthe slightly lower GauriShankar(7134m, 23405ft)Owing to the winds from the Indian Ocean, the area is warm and wet with a lot of precipitation.
