Tserim Kang
Tserim Kang is a mountain in Bhutan and Tibet.Description
Tserim Kang is a glaciated summit in the Himalayas on the Bhutan–China border. It is situated northwest of Thimphu on the boundary of Jigme Dorji National Park. Precipitation runoff from the mountain's south and east slopes drains into the Mo Chhu drainage basin, whereas the north slope drains to Dochen Tso in Tibet. Topographic relief is significant as the south slope rises 2,030 metres in. The nearest higher neighbor is Jichu Drake, to the southwest. Legend has it that a young girl named Tserim Kang was weaving when Jichu Drake teased her. This upset her and she hit Jitchu Drake on the head with a weaving tool, creating Jichu Drake's double summit. Tserim Kang is also known as Tserim Gang or Takaphu.Climate
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Tserim Kang is located in a tundra climate zone with cold, snowy winters, and cool summers. Weather systems coming off the Bay of Bengal are forced upwards by the Himalaya mountains, causing heavy precipitation in the form of rainfall and snowfall. June through August is the monsoon season. The months of March, April, May, September, October, and November offer the most favorable weather for viewing this peak.
