Mount Kangto is the source of the Pachuk river, one of the main tributaries of the Kameng river in East Kameng district. It is one of the three major peaks of the Kangto massif.[4]
A joint expedition team of ITBP and Indian Mountaineering Foundation had established a base camp at 9,920 feet on the banks of Pachuk river on October 21, 2017.[5] All earlier attempts to reach the base of the peak were unsuccessful.[6][7][8]
