The Liangkang Kangri (also Liankang Kangri ) is a peak in the Himalayas on the border between Bhutan and the People's Republic of China and at the south-eastern end point of a territory claimed by both states.
The Liangkang Kangri is 7534 m high. A ridge leads south to the 7570 m high Gangkhar Puensum 2 km south-southeast . Due to the low notch height of 234 m, the Liangkang Kangri is not considered a separate mountain. To the west, a ridge leads to the 6680 m high Chumhari Kang . The Liangkang Glacier on the northwest flank and the Namsang Glacier on the eastern flank of the Liangkang Kangri form the headwaters of the Lhobrak Chhu , a headwaters of the Kuri Chhu . The glacier on the southwest flank belongs to the Mangde Chhu catchment area .
