Everest may well be the highest peak in the
world but the beautiful peak of Nanda Devi must
surely be the most fascinating. Nanda Devi, 7816
m is the highest mountain situated completely
within India and is surrounded by a ridge wall
of nearly 6000m. The only break in this wall is
the Rishi Ganga, a wild and seemingly
impenetrable gorge. This amazing feat of
endurance and determination was capped when
Tilman later returned to conquer the peak
itself. The Nanda Devi basin must surely be one
of the most legendary regions in the entire
Himalayan chain. The mountain itself, revered
since time immemorial by all those who live in
its shadow, has long attracted the attention of
the pioneering mountaineers and explorers,
mystics and spiritualists, writers and everyday
travellers who have visited the area. |
