Rangrik Rang is a mountain in the Kinnaur district of Himachal Pradesh in India.
The mountain is above sea level[1] and is named after the Rangrik Tungma temple just below it.[2] The peak can be found to the north of the upper Sanglatals. The Eastern and Western Racho Khad ice masses feed on the upper east and northwest flanks of Rangrik Rang, respectively, and support the northbound Tirang.
The peak was summited on 20 June 1994 through the northeast ridge by an Indo-British expedition team. The team consisted of the following members; Chris Bonington, Jim Fotheringham, Muslim Contractor, Graham Little, Divyesh Muni, Jim Lowther, Paul Nunn, and Pasang Bodh.[3]
