Mount Bhagirathi II
Altitude 6,512m Grade: 3C
Mount Bhagirathi II
Mount Bhagirathi II is part of the Bhagirathi Peaks I - III that dominate the valley of Gangotri.
Mount Bhagirathi II is part of the Bhagirathi Peaks I - III that dominate the valley of Gangotri and look almost impossible on the approach as their enormous steep rock walls descend vertically to the glacier below. Our route, however, skirts behind and ascends the ridge via two camps. It is rare to find a mountain like this where you can climb amongst such spectacular scenery with relative ease but are surrounded by some of the most impressive peaks in the world….a must do!

- Repatriation
- The altitude that you are expected to attain
- The location especially when travelling to Antarctica

- Medical cover
