Itinerary Description
Introduction Black peak or Kalanag peak is one of the highest in the region. It is located in the Saraswati range of mountains. Its resemblance to the head of a Snake gives it the name ?Kalanag?. The Kalanag peak rises to the height of 6387m. The black peak trek is located in the Uttarkashi district of Uttarakhand. This is the magnificent mountain peak which is in the vicinity of some other mountain peaks like Bandarpoonch, Swargrohini and Satopanth etc. The challenge that Black Peak expedition presents to the expeditionist makes it a dominant climb to scale among all the other peaks of the region. Given the technical complexity that is associated with the Kalanag expedition, it is advised to have good understanding of all the technical details associated with the scaling of such peaks. Prior experience is going to play vital role in countering the difficulties that the black peak expedition is going to throw before the expeditionist. The thrill to conquer black peak in Uttarakhand will be a life time experience for mountaineers. Best Time The best time to scale the summit is during the month of May to September. At this time of the year the summit provides the best conditions suitable to scale the summit. The summit presents a demanding difficulty due to the 75 feet ice wall with the 70-degree gradient. Besides there will be crevasses and rocky moraines. The air thinning will also pose a major challenge. Thus, it is necessary to acclimatize properly to with stand the unpredictable conditions.
