| Notes | Other map altitudes: 6374m - HMG-MT 6388m - HMG-Finn, HMG-MT 6404m - Shangri La, Japan MMW Nepa map incorrectly labels a 6432m peak west of Yaupa as Peak 5. True Peak 5 (aka Saldim) is SE of Yaupa on Tibetan border. Some locals consider Peak 5 (Saldim West) and Saldim to be two distinct peaks of 6388m (Peak 5/Yaphu Ri) and 6374m (Saldim) that are near each other. The Ministry now considers Peak 5 (Saldim West) and Saldim to be distinct peaks. |
