Mountain Pass
Nilkantha
Nilkantha, also known as Neelkanth, is a prominent peak in the Garhwal division of the Himalayas, situated in the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand. The peak stands at an impressive elevation of 6,596 meters (21,650 feet) and is one of the many epithets of Lord Shiva, meaning "blue throat".
According to legend, the peak was formed when Lord Shiva became displeased with the sins of priests and erected a giant mountain between Kedarnath and Badrinath. The Satopanth Glacier lies on the northwest side of Nilkantha, while the Panpatia Glacier is on the southwest side. The peak offers dramatic views of the Alaknanda River valley and is considered one of the most beautiful mountains in the Himalayas.
The first successful ascent of Nilkantha was made in 1974 by an Indo-Tibetan Border Police team.
