Tirsuli, Mountain summit in Pithoragarh district, India.

Tirsuli stands at 7,074 meters elevation, forming the northeast wall of Nanda Devi sanctuary with Hardeol, Dunagiri, and Changabang peaks in Uttarakhand.

The first expedition to reach Tirsuli's summit occurred on October 9, 1966, when an Indian team from the Himalayan Association of Calcutta achieved the ascent.

The mountain's name reflects its physical shape, which bears similarities to the traditional three-pronged weapon of Hindu mythology.

Munsiyari serves as the principal gateway for expeditions to Tirsuli, offering transportation connections through buses and taxis from Kathgodam transport junction.

The mountain remained unconquered for decades despite multiple attempts, with a tragic 1939 Polish expedition resulting in an avalanche at Camp 3.
