'''Thamserku''' is a [mountain](/source/mountain) in the [Himalayas](/source/Himalayas) of eastern [Nepal](/source/Nepal). The mountain is connected by a ridge leading eastward to [Kangtega](/source/Kangtega). Thamserku is a prominent mountain to the east of [Namche Bazaar](/source/Namche_Bazaar) and lies just north of [Kusum Kangguru](/source/Kusum_Kangguru).{{cn|date=November 2018}}

The first ascent was made in 1964 from the south by members of [Edmund Hillary](/source/Edmund_Hillary)'s Schoolhouse Expedition: Lynn Crawford, Pete Farrell, John McKinnon and Richard Stewart. Below the basin on the southwest face, they reached the south ridge after climbing a difficult [couloir](/source/couloir). The team described the climb as difficult and the route has never again been repeated in its entirety.<ref name=AAJ2015/> In 2014, Russian climbers Alexander Gukov and Alexey Lonchinskiy made the first ascent on the southwest face.<ref name=AAJ2015/>
