The 6,895 metres (22,621 ft) high Lunag Ri is located on the Himalayan main ridge on the border between Nepal and Tibet.

Lunag Ri is 11.7 km (7.3 miles) west of Cho Oyu (8,188 m (26,864 ft)).

The Jobo Rinjang (6,778 m (22,238 ft)) forms a southeastern secondary summit of Lunag Ri.

Lunag Ri was first climbed on October 25, 2018, by the Austrian climber David Lama, for which he won a 2019 Piolet d'Or.

Lama and the American climber Conrad Anker had failed to make the summit at two previous attempts in November 2015 and fall 2016.
