Gipmochi
Mountain in India/Bhutan / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gipmochi (Gyemo Chen or Gamochen, 'The Great Queen')[2] is a mountain in the Lower Himalayas in south central Asia.[3] Rising to a height of 14,523 feet (4,427 m),[1] the mountain sits on the border between the northern Indian state of Sikkim and Bhutan. China claims Gipmochi as the China–India–Bhutan tri-junction point. Bhutan and India, however, claim that the tri-junction is 6.5 km to the north, at Batang La.
