The Kande Hiunchuli (also Kangde Hiunchuli ) is a 6627 m high glaciated mountain in the Himalayas in western Nepal .
Kande Hiunchuli, located in the Karnali administrative zone , forms one of the highest peaks in the Kanjiroba Himal massif . The mountain lies at the border point of the Mugu , Dolpa and Jumla districts . A mountain ridge leads to the northeast, on which the secondary peaks Kande Hiunchuli Northeast I ( 6521 m ), Kande Hiunchuli Northeast II ( 6471 m ) and Patrasi ( 6450 m ) lie. The ridge leads on to the highest point of the Kanjiroba Himal, the 8.61 km east-southeast Kanjiroba ( 6883 m ).
The first ascent of Kande Hiunchuli was achieved by a Japanese expedition from Tōkai University in 1963 over the west side. Norio Hoshino and a Sherpa reached the summit on September 13th.
Another ascent may have taken place in 1972. Shigeru Kuwahata and Toyukazu Hirota, participants in a Japanese expedition of the Tokyo Yamatabi Club , climbed the summit via the southwest ridge on October 18. However, it is unclear whether they actually climbed the said peak.
