The mountain peak is located in the catchment area of the Mo Chhu in Jigme Dorji National Park. The peak is 1.3 km south of the main Himalayan ridge, where the border between Bhutan and China runs. In its southeast, at 11.5 km Tsenda Kang 6,481 m (21,263 ft) rises and in its further east, at 18.75 km Tongshanjiabu 7,207 m (23,645 ft) is located.
