Teram Kangri

Teram Kangri rises to 7,462 meters in elevation within the Siachen Muztagh section of the Karakoram range, featuring three distinct peaks along its ridge line.

The first successful climb to Teram Kangri I occurred in August 1975 when a Japanese expedition team led by H. Katayama reached the summit through the southwest ridge.

The mountain's name derives from old Yarkandi tales mentioning a settlement near the Teram Shehr glacier, connecting local folklore to geographical features.

Mountaineers accessing Teram Kangri must navigate through 194 kilometers of terrain from Leh, crossing multiple glaciers and managing extreme weather conditions.

The peak stands at the convergence of three territories, with its northeast face in Chinese control while the southwest section remains under Indian administration.
