'''Gang Chua''' is a mountain in [[India]].<br />
<br />
==Description==<br />
Gang Chua is a {{Convert|6288|m|ft|abbr=off|adj=on}} summit in the [[Himalayas]]. The mountain is situated in the state of [[Himachal Pradesh]], {{convert|145|km|mi}} east-northeast of the capital city of [[Shimla]]. Precipitation runoff from this mountain's slopes drains into tributaries of the [[Sutlej|Sutlej River]]. [[Topographic relief]] is significant as the south slope rises 2,300&nbsp;metres (7,546&nbsp;ft) above Tagla Khad (stream) in {{convert|4|km|mi|spell=in}}. The first ascent of Gang Chua was achieved on June 16, 1974, by Major F.J. Bahadur, Naik Omkar Chand, and M.A. Naik from the Indian Military Academy.<ref name=AAJ>[https://publications.americanalpineclub.org/articles/12197520800/Asia-IndiaHimachal-Pradesh-Gang-Chuya-and-Leo-Pargial ''Asia, India—Himachal Pradesh, Gang Chuya and Leo Pargial''], 1975, publications.americanalpineclub.org, Retrieved June 19, 2025.</ref><ref>[https://www.himalayanclub.org/hj/34/14/the-i-m-a-expedition-to-gang-chua-and-leo-pargial-1974/ ''The I.M.A. Expedition to Gang Chua and Leo Pargial, 1974''], Jagjit Singh, The Himalayan Journal, 1976, Retrieved June 19, 2025.</ref><br />

Based on the [[Köppen climate classification]], Gang Chua is located in a [[tundra climate]] zone with cold, snowy winters, and cool summers.<ref name=KGcc2007>{{Cite Köppen-Geiger cc 2007}}</ref> Weather systems are forced upwards by the Himalaya mountains ([[orographic lift]]), causing heavy precipitation in the form of rainfall and snowfall. July through September is the monsoon season. The months of April, May and June offer the most favorable weather for viewing or climbing this mountain.<ref>[https://travelerbibles.com/best-time-to-visit-himalayas-india/ ''Best Time to Visit Himalayas India – Peak Adventure Season''], Lindsey Tramuta, May 7, 2025, travelerbibles.com, Retrieved June 19, 2025.</ref><br />
