Famous Mountain Peaks in Uttarakhand :

Fusing more radiance to the motherland and the Northern Part of India in every sense is the state of Uttarakhand. The state undeniably stands proud because of its mighty mountains that are considered some of the highest one in India. Starting with an elevation over 3000 m and ranging up to 7500 m there are so many peaks in Uttarakhand that are unknown and unexplored but still settled in a traveller’s heart.

Nanda Devi :

Nanda Devi  is the second highest mountain in India, and the highest located entirely within the country. (Kangchenjunga, which is higher, is on the border of India and Nepal.) It is the 23rd-highest peak in the world. It was considered the highest mountain in the world before computations in 1808 proved Dhaulagiri to be higher. It was also the highest mountain in India until 1975 when Sikkim, the state in which Kangchenjunga is located, joined the Republic of India. It is part of the Garhwal Himalayas, and is located in Chamoli district of Uttarakhand, between the Rishiganga valley on the west and the Goriganga valley on the east. The peak, whose name means "Bliss-Giving Goddess",[4] is regarded as the patron-goddess of the Uttarakhand Himalaya. In acknowledgment of its religious significance and for the protection of its fragile ecosystem, the peak as well as the circle of high mountains surrounding it—the Nanda Devi sanctuary—were closed to both locals and climbers in 1983. The surrounding Nanda Devi National Park was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1988.

Mount Kamet :

Kamet is the second highest mountain in the Garhwal region of Uttarakhand, after Nanda Devi. It lies in the Chamoli District of Uttarakhand. Its appearance resembles a giant pyramid topped by a flat summit area with two peaks.

Abi Gamin :

Abi Gamin (also known as Ibi Gamin) is a Himalayan mountain peak mostly situated in the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand state in India, 2 km (1.2 mi) northeast of Kamet. Its summit is on the border with Tibet and its northern slope is in the Ngari Prefecture of Tibet.

Abi Gamin is located in the central Himalayas and at the culminating point of the Zaskar Range. It is situated on the watershed of the upper Alaknanda and Dhauli rivers between the famous Manna and Niti passes on the Indo-Tibetan border. Abi Gamin is the second highest peak in the immediate region, after Kamet. It is also one of the fifteen seven thousand metre peaks of Uttarakhand, and as such it is a significant peak. However it is not particularly independent, lying as it does close to the higher peak of Kamet, and separated from it by the high saddle known as Meade's Col, 7,138 m (23,419 ft).

Chaukhamba :

Chaukhamba is a mountain massif in the Gangotri Group of the Garhwal Himalaya. Its main summit, Chaukhamba I, is the highest peak in the group. It lies at the head of the Gangotri Glacier and forms the eastern anchor of the group.[5] It is located in the northern Indian state of Uttarakhand, west of the Hindu holy town of Badrinath.

Trisul :

risul is a group of three Himalayan mountain peaks of western Kumaun, with the highest (Trisul I) reaching 7120m. The three peaks resemble a trident - in Hindi/Sanskrit, Trishula, trident, is the weapon of Shiva. The Trishul group forms the southwest corner of the ring of peaks enclosing the Nanda Devi Sanctuary, about 15 kilometres (9 mi) west-southwest of Nanda Devi itself. The main peak, Trisul I, was the first peak over 7,000 m (22,970 ft) to have ever been climbed, in 1907.

Kedarnath :

Kedarnath (or Kedarnath Main) and Kedarnath Dome (or Kedar Dome) are two mountains in the Gangotri Group of peaks in the western Garhwal Himalaya in Uttarakhand state, India. Kedarnath (Main) lies on the main ridge that lies south of the Gangotri Glacier, and Kedarnath Dome, a subpeak of the main peak, lies on a spur projecting towards the glacier, two kilometres northwest of Kedarnath. They are at a distance 15 kilometres (9 mi) south of the Hindu holy site of Gaumukh (the source of the ganges River). Kedarnath is the highest peak on the south side of the Gangotri Glacier, and Kedarnath Dome is the third highest. Both peaks have relatively easy routes on their northwest sides, but the east face of Kedarnath Dome is a large, very difficult rock climb.

Shivling :

Boasting its name for being a holy symbol of Shiva Linga, this mountain is a part of the Gangotri group settled at Tapovan. It is set at an elevation of 6543 m above the sea and is one of the most sought-after climbs in Uttarakhand.

Swargarohini :

Set up in the Saraswati range of Garhwal, is the Swargarohini alp of the Uttarkashi District. These peaks are classified as four different ones, where the Swargarohini I is the major one. Besides, the peak is a source of river tons and is settled at an elevation of 6252 m above the sea level.

Neelkanth :

Advancing 3474 m above the magnifying and sacred site of Badrinath, Nilkanth is one of the eminent peaks making its mark in the Garhwal region, Uttarakhand. The peak ascends over the valley of Alaknanda river and even though it's lower as compared to the highest peaks it is set an elevation of 6595 m above the sea level.

Gaumukh :

This treasured glacier is the source of the Hindu sacred river Ganga and lies 18 km away from the Gangotri glacier. Gaumukh stands tall at an elevation of 4023 m in the blessed district of Uttarkashi. Besides, this glacier is the source of the Bhagirathi river as well which conjoins with river Alaknanda to form Ganga at Devprayag from where it flows and sweeps into the Bay of Bengal.

                These mountains stretch over the whole land of Uttarakhand making it look more stunning and mesmerizing and they serve as the sole reason that people love travelling to this state in India.
