Mamostong Kangri

Momostong Kangri rises to 7,516 meters above sea level as the highest peak of the Rimo Muztagh range within the Karakoram mountains.

The first successful ascent of Momostong Kangri occurred on September 13, 1984, when an Indo-Japanese expedition team reached the summit via the Northeast Ridge.

The mountain stands within the Ladakh territory, where Buddhist monasteries and local communities maintain traditional practices influenced by Tibetan heritage.

Mountaineers require permits from the Indian Mountaineering Foundation and must coordinate with a designated liaison officer to attempt climbing Momostong Kangri.

Four glaciers originate from Momostong Kangri's slopes: the South Chong Kumdan, Kichik Kumdan, Mamostong, and South Terong, creating a complex glacial system.
