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).[1] It was first ascended in 1963.[1][3]

From the Khumbhu and Hinku Valley areas, Mount Kangtega rises to a saddle-shaped point, thus earning the name "The Snow Saddle."[4]
