From time to time, Yalung Yang seems separate from the other three mountains. The Yalung Yang climbed in 1975, whereas the main summit was in 1977 because of the remoteness territory and strenuous ascension. Therefore, it rated it as the least climbed peak among 8000 meters. Due to being the least climbed mountain, you should be well-prepared and know about the kanchanjunga trek before ascending.
