The Jugal Himal is a mountain range in the central Himalayas , 70 km north-northeast of Kathmandu , on the border between the autonomous region of Tibet ( People's Republic of China ) and Nepal .
The Jugal Himal stretches between the Sunkoshi river valley in the east and the Balephi Khola and Langtang Khola river valleys in the west. The highest peak is the 8027 m high Shishapangma . The mountain range is predominantly on the Tibetan side. In the west, beyond the Langtang valley, joins the lower Langtang Himal . To the south of the Langtang valley, the Chimsedang Lekh mountain range forms a western continuation of the Langtang Himal. The Tilman's Pass runs between the two mountain ranges.
