Most Exciting & Toughest Peaks To Scale In India1. 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, ‘heaven’s 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.

Most Exciting & Toughest Peaks To Scale In India2. 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.

Most Exciting & Toughest Peaks To Scale In India3. 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.

Most Exciting & Toughest Peaks To Scale In India4. 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 Yatze’s 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.

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. Located in the Kumaon Himalayas closely linked to the Sunderdunga, the winding route makes the climb long and tiring. But don’t lose hope- the feeling of conquering this peak is worth the trouble.

Most Exciting & Toughest Peaks To Scale In India6. 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.

Most Exciting & Toughest Peaks To Scale In India7. 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 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.

Most Exciting & Toughest Peaks To Scale In India9. 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 Kangri’s 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.
