Abi Gamin

Abi Gamin rises to an elevation of 7,355 meters, positioned 2 kilometers northeast of Kamet peak along the Indo-Tibetan border in Uttarakhand state.

Richard Strachey conducted the first survey of Abi Gamin in 1848, followed by the Schlagintweit brothers who categorized the mountain range into three sections in 1855.

The mountain stands at the watershed between the upper Alaknanda and Dhauli rivers, near Manna and Niti passes, marking traditional trade routes between India and Tibet.

Climbers access Abi Gamin through multiple routes, including the northeast ridge via Mana Pass, the Purbi Kamet Glacier, and the southwest ridge from Meade's Col.

On June 8, 1988, Govind Joshi set a record as the youngest climber to reach Abi Gamin's summit at age 17 without supplemental oxygen support.
