TRISHOOL - 1
-----------

Trisul (Hindi: त्रिशूल) is a group of three Himalayan mountain peaks of western Kumaun, with the highest (Trisul I) reaching 7120m. The three peaks resemble a trident - in Hindi/Sanskrit, Trishul, trident, is the weapon of Shiva. The Trishul group forms the southeast corner of the ring of peaks enclosing the Nanda Devi   Sanctuary, about 15 kilometres (9 mi) west-southwest of Nanda Devi   itself. The main peak, Trisul I, was the first peak over 7,000 m   (22,970 ft) to have ever been climbed, in 1907.


The three peaks are named Trisul I, Trisul II, and Trisul III. The massif   is a north-south ridge, with Trisul I at the north end and Trisul III   at the south. The massif runs roughly North-South, and hence appears   compressed when viewed from the south (Ranikhet, Kausani), and more stretched out from the Southeast (Chamoli, Bedini Bugyal).

KAMET


Kamet is the second highest mountain in the Garhwal region of India, after Nanda Devi, 7,816 m (25,643 ft). It lies in the Chamoli District of Uttarakhand, close to the border with Tibet.   It is the third highest mountain in India (according to India however,   the rank is much lower as it includes in its list of mountains all those   in Pakistan occupied Kashmir), and the 29th highest in the world. Kamet   is most properly considered part of (and the highest summit in) the Zaskar (or Zanskar) Range, which lies north of the main chain of the Himalaya, between the Suru River and the upper Karnali River. In appearance it resembles a giant pyramid topped by a flat summit area with two peaks.
