Kangtega

Kangtega (काङ्टेगा), known also as The Snow Saddle, is a major mountain peak of the Himalayas in Nepal. Its summit rises 6782 m. 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."
