The Chomoyummo (also Chomo Yummo or Chomiomo ) is a mountain in the Himalayas on the border between Sikkim in India and Tibet in China .
The Chomoyummo has a height of 6829 m . It is located in the eastern main Himalayan ridge in the north of Sikkim. The northern flank of the Chomoyummo lies in Tibet and is drained to the Yairu Zangbo , a left tributary of the Bum Chu (upper reaches of the Arun ). On the southeast flank of the Chomoyummo runs the upper reaches of the Lachen Chu , the right source river of the Tista . On the opposite side of the valley rises the 6920 m high Kangchengyao, 12 km east-southeast . A mountain ridge branches off at Chomyummo from the main ridge in a southerly direction. This separates the upper reaches of the Lachen Chu from the Zemu Chu .
