[1] (http://www.nirvanaexpeditions.com/pictures/nature/imagepages/image3.htm)Gangkhar Puensum, in Bhutan, is the tallest unclimbed mountain peak in the world, at 22,623 ft. (6895.5 m). The government does not permit climbers to ascend the peak, lest they "disturb the spirits".
GangkharPuensum, 28°06' N, 90°26' E, 7541 metres, is the highest mountain in Bhutan and the highest unclimbed mountain in the world.
Gangkhar Peunsum, alternative transliteration Gangkar Punsum or Gankar Punzum, (meaning "White Peak of the Three Spiritual Brothers"), had its altitude first measured in 1922 but maps of the region are not at all accurate and the mountain is shown in different locations and with markedly different heights.
GangkharPuensum may keep its unique status for some time: any higher unclimbed peaks in the world are likely to be subsidiary tops, not separate mountains.
