Gyala Peri lies just north of the Great Bend of the Yarlung Tsangpo River, the main river of southeastern Tibet, which becomes the Brahmaputra in India. It is 22 kilometres (14 mi) NNW of the higher Namcha Barwa.
Gyala Peri has great vertical relief above the Tsangpo gorge and is the highest peak of the Nyenchen Tanglha Shan.[3]
The first ascent of Gyala Peri was in 1986, by a Japanese expedition, via the South Ridge. The group spent about 11⁄2 months on the mountain.[2] The U.K. Alpine Club's Himalayan Index[4] lists no other ascents.
