Most Exciting & Toughest Peaks To

Scale In India

1. Satopanth :

The second highest peak in the Gangotri Group, it is a


segment of the Garhwali Himalayas. The razor sharp edges and the
drastically angled slopes make the tough glacier approach a challenge for
the fittest and the most experienced climbers. Most commonly known for its
fascinating views of the Thalay Sagar, Shivling and the granite pillars of
Bhagirathi III, heavens path is also relatively close to the religious hub of
the Gangotri. At 7000+ meters, an ordinary expedition team would consist
of well-seasoned climbers.

2. Friendship Peak :

The peak is the only open peak in the


Himachal Himalaya range of mountains, and being easy as opposed to other
treks, does not require a formal training in mountaineering to scale its
heights. Rising out of the Pir Panjal range in the Kulu District, it stands at a
height of 5,289 meters and faces other well-known peaks such as the
Hanuman Tibba. The varying forms of terrain at different points of the climb
is a great opportunity for newbies to practice different styles of
mountaineering craft.

3. Hanuman Tibba :

Yet another alpine climbing expedition, at


5932m it is surrounded by pristine white glaciers and is an extremely
demanding trek as one proceeds upwards. Rising gradually past the wet
grasslands, the snow makes it difficult to climb fast sinking feet easily.
Many expedition teams face the problem of altitude sickness, quickly
affecting one member after another. However, Hanuman Tibba is the pride
of Manali, and its easy contours is a great way to warm up the body.

4. KANG YATZE :

Peeping out of the Markha Valley, KangYatze makes


its presence felt at 6,400 meters. Its difficulty level ranges according to the
route undertaken, for example the Kang Yatze II is considered to be easier
and therefore climbed often. This route is a favorite for novice mountaineers
being graded as an F on the Alpine grade system. Not an expedition for the
faint hearted, Kang Yatzes environment is primarily influenced by the fact
that it is located in Ladakh. Sure footedness will definitely work to the
advantage while attempting this peak.

At 5645 meters, Mt. Bhanoti offers the best


panoramic view of the Himalayan stretch along with an exhausting yet
satisfying expedition to its peak. First timers can attempt this peak whose
difficulty level increases at steady manageable rate as one proceeds.

6. Nun Kun :

The twin Himalayan peaks of Nun and Kun stand at 7,


135 meters and 7,077 meters respectively in the LOC region of Jammu and
Kashmir. The massif has an impressive history it was conquered back in
1913 itself, and scaled a few decades later. The approach usually slits
through the Suru River, on the border of Kashmir and Zanskar, and offers
the horseshoe shaped view of the satellite of The Pinnacle, Barnaland Nun
Kun. The rugged landscape, teamed with the icy snow, makes it a forbidding
task.

7. Kanchenjunga :

The third highest mountain in the world, flanked


by two rivers on either sides, stands at 8,586m, posing a challenge for the
toughest of maintainers. Strikingly, most mountaineers stop short of the
summit as a time honored tradition which grew out of a promise to the
Chogyals. An excellent physical condition, teamed with the stamina to cross
rough terrains for over 10 hours each day is required. Moreover, being the
object of repute, it has many skilled mountaineers being pitted against each
other in their attempts to scale it.

The main summit stands at 7816m, and is


surrounded by a number of over 21,00ft peaks, making accessibility
difficult. The high winds, stony paths and the powdery snow add to
navigation difficulties. However, the bliss giving goddess has a rich past of
enthusiastic climbers scaling her heights, most having an international
background.

9. Saltoro Kangri :

Hidden in the Karakoram range, this area is


heavily surrounded by military operations leading to a stagnation in
expeditions launched to scale Saltoro Kangris heights. Also known for the
clean granite towers it possesses, the jagged paths and the various glaciers
are worth tackling with. The icy paths are interspersed with rocky choppy
paths, so concentration is a must on an expedition up this giant.
