[[Great Trigonometrical Survey|Surveyed]] as '''K35''', '''Mamostong Kangri''' or '''Mamostang Kangri''' is the highest peak in the remote [[Rimo Muztagh]], a subrange of the [[Karakoram]] [[mountain range|range]] in [[Ladakh]] union territory of [[India]] near its border with [[China]]. It is located about 30 km east-southeast of the snout of the [[Siachen Glacier]]. It is the 48th [[List of highest mountains|highest independent peak in the world]] (using a 500m [[topographic prominence|prominence]] cutoff).The South Chong Kumdan Glacier, Kichik Kumdan (Thangman), Mamostong, and South Terong Glaciers all head on the slopes of Mamostong Kangri.Mamostong Kangri has not seen a great deal of visitation due to its remote location and the unsettled political and military situation in the region. The first European exploration of the peak was in 1907 by Arthur Neve and D. G. Oliver. The first ascent was made in 1984 by an [[India|Indo]]-[[Japan]]ese expedition, via the Northeast Ridge, after a complicated approach. The summit party comprised N. Yamada, K. Yoshida, R. Sharma, P. Das, and H. Chauhan.The [http://www.alpine-club.org.uk/hi/ Himalayan Index] lists four additional ascents of this peak; however, two of these listings maybe for the same climb.
