About

Kangtega (Nepali: काङ्टेगा), known also as The Snow Saddle, is a major mountain peak of the Himalayas in Nepal. Its summit rises 6,782 metres (22,251 ft). It was first ascended in 1963.

From the Khumbhu and Hinku Valley areas, Mount Kangtega rises to a saddle-shaped point, thus earning the name "The Snow Saddle."
