Thalay Sagar, Mountain summit in Uttarkashi district, India.
Thalay Sagar rises to 6,904 meters, featuring steep rock walls and a challenging north face within the Gangotri Group of the western Garhwal Himalayas.
The first successful climb to the summit occurred in June 1979 when Roy Kligfield, John Thackray, and Pete Thexton ascended through the northwest couloir.
The mountain stands near Gangotri, where the sacred Bhagirathi River begins its journey, making it significant in Hindu spiritual geography.
The climbing season extends from June to September, requiring 40 days of expedition time from Delhi through Rishikesh to reach the summit.
The mountain contains a notable shale band near its peak that presents technical climbing challenges due to the composition of unstable rock formations.
