Mount Nirvana, Mountain summit in Nahanni National Park Reserve, Northwest Territories, Canada.

Mount Nirvana is a high mountain peak in Nahanni National Park Reserve in the Northwest Territories, reaching 2,773 meters above sea level. The summit features exposed rock faces and sits in a remote area accessible only by air or through long backcountry travel.

The peak was first climbed in 1965 by William Buckingham and Lewis Surdam, who gave it its present name. This initial ascent marked the first recorded reach of the summit in this remote region.

The Deh Cho Dene call the peak Nahteni Shih, "Thunder Mountain"; the name Mount Nirvana was given by Bill Buckingham after his July 1965 first ascent with Lew Surdam. Before 2016 only five ascents were recorded, all supported by helicopter or floatplane.

Climbers should expect harsh conditions including extreme elevation gain, unpredictable weather, and limited landmarks in the wilderness terrain. Proper preparation with navigation equipment and emergency communication devices is essential for safety.

The mountain's Deh Cho Dene name, Nahteni Shih, means "Thunder Mountain"; "Mount Nirvana" is an unofficial name given by Bill Buckingham after his July 1965 first ascent with Lew Surdam. The peak is the highest point of the Backbone Ranges in the Mackenzie Mountains.
