Lingtren (Nepali: लिङ्ट्रेन), 6,749 metres (22,142 ft), is a mountain in the Mahalangur Himal area of Himalaya, about 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) distant in a direct line from Mount Everest.

Bounded on the north by this chain of mountains is the Western Cwm in Nepal down which the Khumbu Glacier descends to the northwest over the Icefall before it turns sharply southwest.

[6][7] The peak now known as Lingtren is actually part of a complex formation extending to the north into the West Rongbuk Glacier (see 1921 expedition map).

The northern section, at the junction of the west and main Rongbuk glaciers, is now generally called Guangming Peak (28°02′46″N 86°51′53″E / 28.0462°N 86.8647°E / 28.0462; 86.8647) and has an elevation of 6,533 metres (21,434 ft).

[1] Mallory and Bullock suggested names for the many topographical features they discovered and these were endorsed by the expedition and passed to Charles Bell, Britain's special ambassador to Lhasa, for approval.

[1] The 1935 British Mount Everest reconnaissance expedition again explored the region and on this occasion, during what Eric Shipton called "a veritable orgy of mountain climbing", Shipton and Leslie Vickery "Dan" Bryant climbed for the first time an outlying peak of Lingtren, Lingtrennup and then the main peak of Lingtren.

[14] In Hoger dan de Dhaulagiri, Bart Vos [nl] claimed he had climbed Lingtren in 1993 saying he started in Nepal and then crossed into Tibet.
