Mt Kamet Expedition - The Second Highest mountain in Uttarakhand

Mt Kamet Expedition — Located in the Triangle

Mt Kamet Expedition is surprisingly located where India, Nepal, and Tibet meet in the Chamoli district of Garhwal Himalayas at an altitude of 7,756 m. The Mt Kamet Expedition is the second-highest mountain in Uttarakhand, India. Kamet appears like a huge shrine that is topped by an almost flat summit area with 2 peaks.

The base camp of Mt Kamet Expedition is Vasundhara Tal which is also the base camp of Mt. Abhigamin. Vasundra Tal is a large glacial lake that remains frozen and is extremely attractive. There are small lakes and ponds present nearby in this region.

Mt Kamet Expedition — Kang Med “Burning Mountain”

The Tibetans named Kamet “Kang Med” which means Burning Mountain because the sun rays falling on it makes it look extremely beautiful. It is located in a hidden region where accessibility is tough.

Mukut Parbat, Mana, and Gabin surround Mt Kamet Expedition and glaciers present there are Raikana Kamet glacier, West Kamet glacier and East Kamet glacier. The western one drains into Saraswati River and the Eastern one into Dhauliganga River.

Why Choose Mt Kamet Expedition / Kamet Base Camp Trek

The trail leading to Mt Kamet Expedition takes you through beautiful and quaint villages like Niti which lies at an altitude of 3,450 m. It is the last village of the picturesque valley.

Vasundara Tal “The Basecamp” is much beautiful than other treks in Garhwal Himalayas. The panorama view of towering peaks is outstanding because it is surrounded by the high Himalayan Mountains. It is a great challenging trek for professional trekkers.
