Its
Sanskrit name is "Gosainthan". Reinhold Messner
called it "an exquisite apparition". Indeed, it
is Emerging out of the earth-brown Tibetan plateau a solitary
snow goddess rearing its not-so-ugly head out to be admired.
It was first climbed by H. Ching and Nine Climbers in 1964.
This 'exquisite apparition' is located in central Himalaya
and lies totally within Tibet. To the east lies Mount Molamenchen,
to the west Mount Xifeng & Mount Nandengri and to the
northwest Mount Kangbochen.
There are three distinct climbing routes on the Southwest
face with several other logical possibilities on the West
Ridge and East face. Our route picks up from Nyalam, 33km

at an altitude of about 5000-5400m. The trek to BC takes about
