Overview<\/h1>\n
\n
Black<\/span>\u00a0Peak<\/span>\u00a0or Kalanag is situated at an altitude of 6,387 m above sea level. It is a well-known expedition among peak climbers.\u00a0Black<\/span>\u00a0peak<\/span>\u00a0is the highest\u00a0peak<\/span>\u00a0in the Saraswati mountain range in the Garhwal Himalayas. In local dialect,\u00a0Black<\/span>\u00a0peak<\/span>\u00a0means Kalanag, it looks\u00a0like\u00a0a\u00a0Black<\/span>\u00a0Cobra.\u00a0Black<\/span>\u00a0peak<\/span>\u00a0creates a massif with Bandarpoonch peaks. The Bandarpoonch family is clearly visible from the top.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Black<\/span>\u00a0Peak<\/span>\u00a0Expedition<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0has become the most preferred\u00a0expedition<\/span>\u00a0today. Climbing the\u00a0black<\/span>\u00a0peak<\/span>\u00a0is everyone\u2019s dream. The black\u00a0peak<\/span>\u00a0was first summited in 1955 by Jack Gibson and students of the famous Doon School, Dehradun.<\/div>\n

It is the most dominating\u00a0peak<\/span>\u00a0of the entire Bandarpoonch massif. Providing a gradual climb from the Southern side eventually leading to a very steep summit climb with a near 70-degree incline and a 75 feet ice wall, the climb to the summit of\u00a0Black<\/span>\u00a0Peak<\/span>\u00a0is challenging and technical. Prior high altitude trekking experience and knowledge of mountaineering techniques roping up, jumaring, ice axe, ascending, and descending is mandatory.<\/p>\n

The route to the summit of\u00a0Black<\/span>\u00a0Peak<\/span> is crevasses and requires careful negotiations. Beyond the summit camp at 5500 meters, the route to its summit is very steep and requires good stamina, endurance, and technical skills. The course is exhilarating, with numerous obstacles along the way.\u00a0 The summit is attempted through a vertical ice wall of 80 degrees, an extremely technical and challenging part of the\u00a0expedition<\/span>. It is the trickiest part where one has to be super conscious while ascending or descending.<\/p>\n

There are multiple entries and exit points to the base camp of the black\u00a0peak expedition trek<\/span>. One is by the Dhumdhar Kandi Pass, while the other is via the Bali Pass. However, the Har Ki Dun River from Sankri is the easier route. The weather is not predicted and can change anytime but usually, the Nights are cold and the day temperature is pleasant according to the season.<\/div>\n
