'''Sanglaphu''' is a mountain peak location at {{cvt|6224|m}} in northeast of [[Sikkim]], [[India]].<br />
<br />
== Location ==<br />
The mountain is part of the Dongkya range. On its western flank, the water flows from ''Gurudongmar Glacier'' to [[Gurudongmar Lake]], which lies in the headwaters of the Lachen Chu, which in turn feeds the [[Teesta River]]. On the opposite side of the glacier is the main summit of [[Gurudongmar (mountain)|Gurudongmar]] {{cvt|6715|m}}. The southern flank of the Sanglaphu is drained from the Lachung Chu. There is also the mountain lake ''Sanglaphu Cho'' at an altitude of {{cvt|5080|m}}.<br />
<br />
== Climbing history ==<br />
Sanglaphu was first climbed on October 1, 1991, by mountaineers from [[Sonam Gyatso Mountaineering Institute]], [[Gangtok]]. The team consisted of Kalden, Beniwal, Tamang, Dawa, Passang, Nima Sangay, Choudhary, Rawat, Mahendra Pal, Ganesh and Pushpa.<ref>{{Cite web|title=The HJ/48/21 EXPEDITIONS AND NOTES|url=https://www.himalayanclub.org/hj/48/21/expeditions-and-notes-48/|access-date=2021-12-08|website=The HJ/48/21 EXPEDITIONS AND NOTES|language=en}}</ref><br />
