Mount Shivling is a twin peak standing mound perched at 6,543 meters above mean sea level. This peak is compared with the Matterhorn Peak of the Alps. However, its remoteness and the severe weather of the central Himalayas make Mount Shivling a formidable challenge to negotiate, even for seasoned peak climbers. It was 1974 when Mt Shivling was first climbed by an Indian para-military force of ITBP when they climbed via the west ridge. Since then, Shivling has been summited on several occasions - almost every year. With us, you can climb Shivling Peak with the best chance of success. It is a magnificent marvel of nature and holds sentimental values to Hindus - as the name itself is THE LOGO of Lord Shiva.
Ample preparations are needed to climb Mount Shivling peak. You need high quality gears, an experienced trekking team, and permissions from the Indian Mountaineering Fwederation (IMF) before climbing Mt Shivling. The two base camps are at 6200 meters (BC I) and 6700 meters (BC II). Note that Himalayan weather is always unpredictable and dedicated mountaineers would know that. Possibility of Ski down from the peak would also depend on certain conditions like snow-cover (to avoid avalanche), snow storms and right hours to attempt. All in all, Shivling peak climb demands courage and ability to survive against the odds.
Dreamcatcher Adventure has a team of dedicated mountaineers who have scaled Mt Shivling on more than one occasion.
