Kangto, Mountain summit in Eastern Himalayas, Arunachal Pradesh, India.

Kangto is a mountain peak in the Eastern Himalayas of Arunachal Pradesh that rises to approximately 7,090 meters above sea level. The peak stands within the Assam Himalaya range near the border with Tibet Autonomous Region.

A joint team of the Indo-Tibetan Border Police and the Indian Mountaineering Foundation set up a base camp at 9,920 feet on the banks of the Pachuk river on 21 October 2017. All earlier attempts to reach the base of the peak had failed. Kangto remains a virgin peak.

Kangto gives its name to the Kangto massif, of which it is one of three major peaks. The Pachuk river, which rises on its slopes, feeds the Kameng river and supplies water to communities in East Kameng district. The mountain is also called Kanggardo Rize.

Access requires special permits from authorities because the mountain sits in a restricted border area. Visitors should arrange permissions well in advance and consult with local authorities about documentation and preparation requirements.

Water sources in the region originate from this mountain, particularly the Pachuk river, which flows down from the slopes. This connection between the peak and the river systems shapes the physical geography of the surrounding area.
