A 17-member Indian Coast Guard (ICG) mountaineering team has successfully scaled Mount Mukut (7,045 metres) in the Garhwal Himalayas of Uttarakhand.
Mount Mukut is a high-altitude mountain peak located in the Garhwal Himalayas of Uttarakhand, in the Zaskar Range, near Mount Kamet.
It is part of the Gangotri Group of peaks and lies in the western Garhwal Himalayas, within the Nanda Devi Sanctuary.
The peak is known for its distinctive crown-like shape. The word Mukut means crown in Hindi.
It lies in a transition zone between the greener, monsoon-influenced valleys of Garhwal and the dry, high-altitude landscape of the Tibetan Plateau.
First Ascent: The peak was first climbed in 1951 by a New Zealand expedition team that included Edmund Hillary and George Lowe.
The upper slopes of Mount Mukut consist mainly of exposed rocks, permanent snow, glacier ice and wind-swept ridges.
Its high-altitude terrain and harsh climatic conditions make mountaineering particularly challenging.
Location and Extent: The Garhwal Himalayas form the western part of the Central Himalayas and lie mainly in the Garhwal region of Uttarakhand.
Geographical Extent: The region stretches from the Tons River in the west to the Kali River in the east.
Boundaries: It shares its northern boundary with Tibet (China) and its southern boundary with the Shivalik Hills.
Major Rivers: Important rivers flowing through the region include the Bhagirathi, Alaknanda, Mandakini and Yamuna.
Flora: The region has dense forests dominated by pine, oak, deodar, fir and rhododendron.
