Information regarding Trisul Peaks

Trisul (Hindi: त्रिशूल) is a group of three Himalayan mountain peaks of western Kumaun, in the central part of Uttarakhand state of India, near the Bageshwar district, named after the weapon, Trishul. They form the southeast corner of the ring of peaks enclosing the Nanda Devi Sanctuary, and are located about 15 kilometres (9 mi) west-southwest of Nanda Devi itself. Trisul is named after the trident of Lord Shiva

The height of the peaks are
Trisul I-   7,120 mtr, 23,359 fts
Trisul II-  6,690 mtr,  21,949 fts
Trisul III- 6,007 mtr,  19,708 fts


Trisul I
Trisul from Kausani, UttarakhandT. G. Longstaff made the first climbing reconnaissance of Trisul, in September 1905, focussing on the western and southern sides. He returned in 1907 with two other Britons, three Alpine guides, and a number of Gurkhas. They ascended through the Rishiganga valley, to the north of the peak, onto the Trisul Glacier, which lies on the east side. From there they climbed the northeast flank to the north ridge, reaching the summit on June 12. At the time Trisul was probably the highest mountain to have been climbed

Trisul II and III
Trisul II and Trisul III were first climbed in 1960 by a Yugoslav team. They climbed from the Bidalgwar glacier, achieving the summit of Trisul II via the southern ridge and Trisul III via the north ridge. Another Yugoslav expedition made the first traverse of the three peaks in 1987, and two members paraglided from the summit.
