Shillong, Sept 25: An unnamed and unclimbed mountain peak in Arunachal Pradesh has been scaled by mountaineers and has been named “Tsangyang Gyatso Peak” in honor of His Holiness the 6th Dalai Lama Rigzen Tsangyang Gyatso.
A team from the National Institute of Mountaineering and Adventure Sports (NIMAS), has successfully scaled the unnamed and unclimbed 6383 MSL or 20,942 ft high peak in Gorichen range of Arunachal Pradesh Himalayas on Tawang-West Kameng region.
The peak was one of the most technically challenging and unexplored summits in the region. After overcoming immense challenges including sheer ice walls, treacherous crevasses, and a 2-kilometer-long glacier, the peak was scaled.
The team has immortalized the momentous feat by naming the peak “Tsangyang Gyatso Peak” in honor of His Holiness the 6th Dalai Lama Rigzen Tsangyang Gyatso.
By naming this peak after him, NIMAS aims to pay tribute to his timeless wisdom and his profound contributions to the Monpa community and beyond.
The expedition to conquer “Tsangyang Gyatso Peak” was one of the toughest ever undertaken by the NIMAS team. The route was fraught with dangerous crevasses, steep ice walls, and unpredictable weather conditions.
However, through sheer determination and teamwork, the team was able to navigate these challenges and reach the summit, making history in the process.
NIMAS, which has been at the forefront of adventure and mountaineering in India, has informed the Indian Mountaineering Foundation (IMF) about the ascent and the decision to name the peak. The necessary formalities for naming the peak are being completed to ensure that “Tsangyang Gyatso Peak” is recognized on the official map.
This historic climb not only celebrates Arunachal Pradesh’s rich cultural heritage but also positions the region as a key destination for mountaineering and adventure sports, attracting explorers and adventure enthusiasts from around the globe.
