The Teram Kangri (Chinese: Tèlāmùkǎnlì 特拉木坎力) group is a mountain massif in the remote Siachen Muztagh, a subrange of the Karakoram range. The high point of the group, and of the Siachen Muztagh, is Teram Kangri I.
Teram Kangri I was first climbed in 1975 by a Japanese expedition, who climbed the south ridge of Teram Kangri II (the first ascent) and then traversed to Teram Kangri I. It has been climbed once since, in 1992.
