Nilgiri Parbat, Mountain summit in Garhwal Himalayas, India
Nilgiri Parbat rises to 6,474 meters in elevation within Valley of Flowers National Park, featuring four glaciers on its western, northern, eastern, and southern flanks.
Frank Smythe achieved the first ascent of Nilgiri Parbat in 1937, marking the beginning of documented climbing expeditions on this Himalayan peak.
The mountain's name integrates Sanskrit words, with Nilgiri meaning blue mountain and Parbat referring to a mountain or elevated landform in Indian languages.
Access to Nilgiri Parbat requires technical climbing expertise and equipment, with base camps typically established at approximately 4,785 meters during expeditions.
Four distinct glaciers surround the mountain: Khulia Garvia, Bank Kund, Ratabon, and Tipra Bamak, each contributing to different river systems in the region.
