It rises northwest of Rolwaling Himal and east of Shishapangma.

The peak belongs to a little-known section of the Himalaya variously called Labuche Himal, Pamari Himal and Lapchi Kang[2] that extends from the valley of the Tamakosi River west to the valley of the Sun Kosi and Nyalam Tong La pass where Arniko-Friendship Highway cross the Himalaya.

This section extends south into Nepal east of Arniko Highway.

Labuche Kang was first climbed in 1987 by a Sino-Japanese expedition, via the West Ridge.
