The Nyegi Kangsang is one of the highest mountains in Arunachal Pradesh. The Kameng, one of the most important rivers in Arunachal Pradesh, is fed by the Nyegi Kangsang Glacier which stretches along the eastern flank of Nyegi Kangsang. The northern flank of the mountain is drained over by the Subansiri.
On October 23, 1995 five members of an Indian expedition under the leadership of MP Yadav succeeded in the first ascent of the Nyegi Kangsang over the northeast ridge.[3]
