AmartyaView of Swargarohini I (6,252m) from Aancha Top trek with this beautiful frozen alpine lake in the shot. In Hindu history, this massif is the path the Pandavas took to reach the celestial gates.
An interesting bit of geography: while many Himalayan peaks are part of long chains, Swargarohini’s north face drops a staggering 2,000 meters in just 2 kilometers, making it one of the steepest reliefs in the Garhwal range.
