Lingtren, Mountain summit in Tibet Autonomous Region, China and Sagarmatha Zone, Nepal.
Lingtren is a mountain summit straddling the border between Tibet and Nepal, reaching approximately 6,700 meters high. The south face shows dark gneiss rock covered by a substantial granite layer that defines the mountain's character.
British climbers Eric Shipton and Dan Bryant made the first documented ascent in 1935. Few expeditions have attempted the summit since that initial climb.
The mountain's name derives from Tibetan language, reflecting its geographical position as a prominent landmark within the greater Himalayan range.
Climbers need permits from both Chinese and Nepalese authorities to access the mountain. The best climbing window is before the monsoon season begins.
The summit is visible from Mount Everest Base Camp, though documented ascents after 1935 remain extremely rare. This proximity to one of the world's most famous mountains draws trekkers who pass through the region.
