ABI GAMIN --- ONE OF THE STALWARTS WITH GLACIERS AND CLIMBING.

A large of peaks in Himalayan are stalwarts and not open for the climbers, especially for the foreigners, mainly for the securities reason, since Tibet is the immediate neighbor.
Abi Gamin is one of these tall stalwarts, conquered only a few times.
Abi Gamin situated in the Chamoli Dist of Indian state of Uttarakhand, at the elevation of 7355 meters, is a serious challenge for the hard-core climbers.
It is hardly 2 kms from Kamet, another stalwarts of Himalaya.
It is between the famous passes, Manna pass and Niti pass on the Indian – Tibet borders. Alaknanda and Dhauli Rivers is the watershed of Abi Gamin.
More than a dozen expeditions since 1848 were done to conquer Abi Gamin but all have failed, until however, in year 1950 when the expedition of Anglo- English team succeeded in reaching the peak, the operation had been thru Tibetan side.
Later expeditions had been in the year 1953 and 1955 both from the Indian side of Kamet.
Whichever way you go be ready to face the glaciers, the hidden valleys, the killing cold and tedious climb.
For security reasons, the permission to these expeditions has to be cleared from Govt of India.
This expedition is for hard-core climbers. Keep necessary gear, the tents, the climbing tools, sturdy shoes and clothes, and spirit of daredevil.
