Descriptions

Mount Kalanag, also known as Black Peak, is a mountain located in the Indian state of Uttrakhand. It is considered one of the most popular climbing destinations in the region, standing at an elevation of 6,387 meters above sea level. The route to the summit of Mount Kalanag is known for its scenic beauty, challenging terrain, and diverse wildlife.

The trek usually starts from the base camp in the village of Taluka and follows a well-defined trail that passes through dense forests, meadows, and streams. The trail then becomes steep and rocky as it approaches the summit, making it a challenging climb for experienced trekkers. The views from the top are breathtaking, with a panoramic vista of the surrounding peaks, valleys, and the distant snow-capped Himalayas.

The best time to undertake the Mount Kalanag Expedition is from May to June and from September to November, as the weather is relatively mild and the skies are clearer during these months. However, climbers are advised to be well-prepared for the harsh mountain conditions, carry adequate supplies, and follow the rules and regulations of the area to ensure a safe and successful trek.
