This campaign took 15 days.
Proving that no mountain really is that high or treacherous, a team from the National Institute of Mountaineering and Adventure Sports scaled an unnamed and unnamed 20,942-foot peak in the Gorichan range of the Eastern Himalayas in the Tawang-West Kameng region. What is the head? Arunachal Pradesh, near the China border.
A 15-member team led by an army colonel named the peak “Tsangyang Gyatso Peak” in honor of the 6th Dalai Lama, Rigzen Tsangyang Gyatso.
Departing from the National Institute of Mountaineering and Adventure Sports (NIMAS) campus at Derang in Arunachal Pradesh, the team led by Colonel Ranveer Singh Jamwal left for the summit on September 7 and the expedition took 15 days.
A statement issued by the Defense PRO said the peak was technically one of the most challenging and unexplored peaks in the region and the team had to overcome immense challenges, including ” Includes steep ice walls, treacherous crevasses, and a 2 km long glacier”. .
By naming the peak after Rigzen Tsangyang Gyatso, NIMAS “wishes to pay tribute to his timeless wisdom and profound contribution to the Monpa community and beyond”, the statement said. The Monpa tribe is one of the most populous tribal communities in the Northeast.
NIMAS has informed the Indian Mountaineering Foundation about the successful expedition and to ensure that “Tsangyang Gyatso Peak” is recognized on official maps, an official said.
