Salasungo, Mountain summit in Ganesh Himal, Nepal and Tibet.

Salasungo is a mountain standing at 7,043 meters between the Burhi Gandaki and Trisuli Gandaki valleys within the Ganesh Himal range. It forms a natural border point between Nepal and the Tibetan region of China.

A Japanese-Nepalese expedition made the first ascent on 19 October 1979 via the north face. Hideo Ogura, Pemba Tshering Sherpa and Dawa Norbu Sherpa reached the summit that day. On 20 October Mitsuyasu Maeda, Shinji Eguchi, Mingma Tenzing and Tendi climbed, with Ogura summiting again; Takashi Kitahara and Makoto Yoko followed on 21 October.

The mountain has different names depending on which culture and region you ask, including Ganesh III, Sangjing Ri, Tsala Sungo, Chaglasumgo, and Kang Lombo. This variety of names reflects its location on the border between Nepal and Tibet.

Climbers need permits from both Nepalese and Chinese authorities, along with strong experience in rock, snow, and ice climbing. Routes here are demanding and require careful planning plus solid physical preparation.

The peak was labelled Ganesh II until a resurvey in the early 1990s reassigned the name; older maps give 7,150 m and 7,110 m, while the 7,043 m figure from Finnmap is now the most widely accepted. The name Salasungo is also often applied to a separate peak 4 km further west, Ganesh NW.
