Apsarasas Kangri is located within the broader Kashmir region disputed between India, Pakistan and China.

It is situated on the border between the areas controlled by China as part of the Xinjiang autonomous region, and the Siachen Glacier controlled by India as part of Ladakh.

[3] There are at least three main summits of near-equal height, usually labeled I to III from west to east over a distance of 5 km.

The first ascent was made over the west ridge by Yoshio Inagaki, Katsuhisa Yabuta and Takamasa Miyomoto of the Osaka University Mountaineering Club on August 7, 1976.

[6] Apsarasas II and Apsarasas III are listed as "virgin peaks" by the Indian Mountaineering Foundation,[7] and the eastern summit counts amongst the highest unclimbed peaks.
