Overview
Mt. Satopanth Peak Expedition
Satopanth Expedition is a challenging mountaineering expedition in the Indian Himalayas located in the state of Uttarakhand. The peak is situated at an altitude of 7,075 meters (23,218 ft) and is considered one of the most difficult peaks to climb in India.
The expedition starts from the holy place Gangotri and involves a trek of about 35 kilometers to reach the base camp of the mountain. The trek takes you through beautiful valleys, dense forests and high altitude passes, providing a spectacular glimpse of the Himalayan landscape.
From base camp, climbing involves traversing steep ridges, negotiating crevasses, and climbing technical ice walls to reach the summit. The climb is challenging and requires technical mountaineering skills, endurance, and adaptation to high altitude.
