Mount Jogin III Expedition: Conquering a Majestic Himalayan Peak

···—

Mount Jogin I and Mount Jogin III are situated in the Gangotri Valley of the Garhwal Himalayas in Uttarakhand. Mount Jogin III rises to an elevation of 6,116 meters (20,066 ft) and ranks as the 155th highest peak entirely located within Uttarakhand.

Approach & Base Camp

Approach to the base camp at Kedar Tal is a demanding trek that tests endurance from the very beginning. Despite the challenge, the trek is immensely rewarding, offering breathtaking views of the pristine Kedar Tal Lake and the towering Thalisagar Peak, which dominate the surrounding skyline.

Climbing Route & Camps

Beyond Kedar Tal, the climb becomes increasingly technical, requiring strong mountaineering skills and experience. One of the highlights of this expedition is the rare opportunity it provides to attempt two peaks during a single expedition, making it a truly unique Himalayan experience.

 

Jogin l ll lll Peaks

Jogin group of peaks is among the most impressive and challenging mountain formations in the Gangotri region. Mount Jogin III, along with Mount Jogin I, stands prominently above the Kedar Tal basin and forms a dramatic backdrop to the glacier and surrounding ridgelines.

Jogin III is known for its steep faces, mixed terrain of rock, ice, and snow, and technical climbing sections that demand solid mountaineering experience. The peak offers a true high-altitude Himalayan challenge, combining physical endurance with technical skill.

Climbing in the Jogin region provides mountaineers with a close and immersive experience of the high Himalayas, where massive glaciers, sharp ridges, and towering peaks dominate the landscape. The expedition is considered a rewarding objective for climbers seeking a serious and less-crowded Himalayan ascent.

 

First Ascent History

The first successful ascent of Mount Jogin III was achieved in June 1967 by a team led by Dr. G. R. Patwardhan, marking a significant milestone in the history of Indian mountaineering.

Expedition Experience

Despite its technical challenges, the Jogin III Expedition continues to attract mountaineers and adventure enthusiasts drawn by the region’s raw natural beauty and the immense sense of accomplishment that comes with summiting a Himalayan peak.
