Unclimbed Peaks in India
- Duration: 4 Nights / 5 Days
Overview
UNCLIMBED PEAKS IN INDIA
Believe it or not, there are still many unclimbed mountains in the world that for one reason or another, just haven’t been summitted. Usually they are unclimbed because they are extremely remote and hard to access or because there is a mountaineering ban due to their religious significance.
There is another reason to have peaks unclimbed; it is simple as the peaks left away from the eyes of climbers. If you wish to climb a peak in Indian Himalaya which is never climbed, decide the region and altitude so we can particularly offer you some options. These peaks can be selected from Karakoram to Arunachal in huge range of Indian Himalayas starting from above 5000 meters to above 7000 meters.
Kindly email us at info@15peaks.com with your interest to climb a peak which is never summitted before.
The image of Holy Kailash is symbolically displayed here to highlight greatness of the mountains and their sanctity.
