Kamet, Mountain summit in Chamoli district, India
Kamet rises to 7,756 meters in the Zaskar Range, featuring a pyramid shape topped with two distinct peaks and three surrounding glaciers.
The British expedition team of Frank Smythe, Eric Shipton, R.L. Holdsworth, and Lewa Sherpa completed the first ascent of Kamet in June 1931.
The name Kamet originates from the Tibetan word Kangmed, meaning lower snows, reflecting the mountain's position near the Tibetan border.
Mountaineers access the peak through Joshimath town, with expeditions typically occurring from May to September when weather conditions permit climbing.
The East Kamet Glacier route through Meade's Col presents technical climbing challenges while reaching altitudes of 7,100 meters during the ascent.
