Kharchakund, Mountain summit in Uttarkashi district, India.
Kharchakund rises to 6,612 meters in elevation, surrounded by the Gangotri Glacier on the northern and eastern sides and Ghanohim Bamak to the west.
The first successful climb of Kharchakund was completed by Japanese mountaineers Yoshitaka Tanimura and Toshiharu Hashimoto through the west ridge in May 1980.
The mountain forms part of the sacred Garhwal Himalaya range, where traditional communities maintain connections with the mountainous landscape through their practices.
Mountaineers planning to climb Kharchakund need advanced technical skills, proper acclimatization, and specific permits from the Indian Mountaineering Foundation.
The mountain ranks as the 64th highest peak in Uttarakhand and maintains a prominence of 835 meters above the surrounding terrain.
