Kusum Kangru dominating the southern end of Charpati Himal that separates the valley of the Dudh Koshi from the upper reaches of Hinku Drangka. This peak is a complex, triple–summited mountain having at least five major ridges and faces. The north face of the main summit is the most spectacular one. The name Kusum Kanguru comes from Tibetan meaning “Home of Three Gods” and it actually has 3 different summits.

This peak is one of the most difficult trekking peaks to climb and was first ascended in the autumn of 1979 by a Japanese team.
