Yakawa Kang 6482m

If you have done the Thorung pass then you must have definitely heard of Khatung Kang and Yakawa Kang. Khatung Kang and Yakawa Kang are the two mountains that make the Thorung pass and anyone who has done the pass will surely have seen these gems. Khatung Kang and Yakawa Kang sit like guards of the Thorung pass; whilst the one to the south is Khatung Kang and the one to the north is Khatung Kang. And what's amazing is that the height of these mountains is almost the same. Yakawa Kang stands at 6482m and Khatung Kang stands at 6484m, that's a difference of mere 2 meters! These two mountains along with the pass separate Manang from Mustang and both of these mountains belong to the Damodar Himal massif. The Thorung-La is about 1.66 km south of the summit and Yakawa Kang was first climbed successfully in November 2010.
