Bairiga (Chinese: 白日嘎; pinyin: Bái Rì Gä) or Ruoni (Chinese: 若尼峰; pinyin: Ruò Ní Fēng) is the highest peak of Kangri Garpo Range of the easternmost Himalayas, Tibet. In 2009, a Sino-Japanese joint climbing team formed by China University of Geosciences(Wuhan) and Kobe University became the first to reach the top of Ruoni Ⅱ (6703 m).[3][4]
