Gurja Himal (Nepali: गुर्जा हिमाल) is a mountain in Gandaki Province, Nepal. Gurja Himal is part of the Dhaulagiri massif and it has an elevation of 7,193 metres (23,599 ft).[1][2]
In 2018, an avalanche from the mountain killed nine people which was labelled as the worst climbing disaster in Nepal after the 2015 Mount Everest avalanches.[3][4] One of the victims was South Korean mountain climber Kim Chang-ho.[5][6]
Gurja Himal was first climbed on 1 November 1969 by a Japanese expedition.[7][8][9]
