Kula Kangri is a mountain in the Eastern Himalayas that has an elevation of 7,538 metres (24,731 ft,) making it the 45th highest mountain on Earth and one of the Ultras of the Himalayas.

Chinese and Japanese authorities claim nearby Gangkhar Puensum is higher, and the claim that Kula Kangri is in or on the border with Bhutan is challenged. Bhutan has relinquished its claim to Kula Kangri in the 1980s.
