Janga, Mountain summit in Samegrelo-Zemo Svaneti, Georgia.
The mountain peak of Janga reaches an elevation of 5,051 meters above sea level within the Greater Caucasus mountain range between Georgia and Russia.
The first documented ascent of Janga occurred on September 12, 1888, when English mountaineer John Garford Cockin successfully reached the summit with Swiss guides Ulrich Almer and Christian Roth.
The mountain carries different names across various languages, reflecting the multicultural heritage of the Caucasus region where diverse communities have settled through centuries.
Climbers accessing Janga can utilize two established routes via the Khalde Glacier, including paths mapped by Otar Khazaradze in 1960 and I. Reformatorski in 1964.
The mountain formation includes three distinct peaks: the main Jangi-Tau at 5,085 meters, West Peak at 5,059 meters, and East Peak measuring 5,034 meters.
