Kongde Ri (sometimes Kwangde Ri) is a mountain in the Himalayas of eastern Nepal. The mountain is located four km west of Namche Bazaar.
The mountain is classified as a trekking peak, but it is considered one of the more difficult ones to climb. A climbing permit costs $70-250 USD per foreign climber depending on the season.[3]
A Japanese team made the first ascent of Kongde Ri on November 11, 1978.[4]
