Harmukh Mountain, Sacred mountain summit in Ganderbal district, India
Harmukh Mountain rises 5,142 meters between the Sind River and Kishanganga River, featuring steep pyramid-like slopes and a prominent eastern face.
The first ascent of the highest eastern peak occurred in 1899 when Dr Ernest Neve and Geoffrey Millais reached the summit after multiple attempts.
The mountain holds religious importance in Hinduism as Haramukuta, meaning the diadem of Shiva, with annual pilgrimages during Ganga Ashtami from Naranag.
The northwestern route from Arin Bandipore requires a 47-kilometer drive from Srinagar followed by an 18-kilometer trek to the mountain base.
The mountain contributes melt waters to Gangabal Lake, located at its northeastern foot, supplying fresh water through Nallah Sindh for regional irrigation.
