Mt. Shivling Expedition

  • Mt. Shivling Expedition

Overview

The word Shivling literally refers “the phallus of Lord Shiva”. Mt. Shivling is among the most stunning peaks of Garhwal, Uttarakhand of India. The mountain rises as a absolute pyramid above the snout of the Gangotri Glacier. Its amazing form is often compared to that of “Matterhorn peak”. The mountain is well defined by steep rock faces on all sides; besides the west flank which is moderate enough slope for snow accumulation.
Shivling is twin-summated mountain with the northeast summit slightly higher than the southwest summit. Gaumukh, a holy site of Hindus is source of Bhagirathi River. Tapavan meadows lie between Shivling and Gaumukh.

Since its first ascent on June 3, 1974, at least ten other routes have been identified to the summit which used all major ridges and most major faces of the mountain. Though it is not of great elevation, peak is dramatically rocky and difficult to climb that makes it a famed prize for mountaineers.

This holy Mount Shivling attracts thousands of devotees every year. The nearest airport is at Jollygrant and the nearest railway station is at Rishikesh.
