Overview
Mt Jogin I and Mt Jogin III are located in the Gangotri Valley of Garhwal Himalayas in Uttarakhand. The climb to the Base Camp, that is Kedar Tal, is itself a challenging hike. However, the vistas of the beautiful lake at Kedar Tal and stunning views of Thalaysagar make the climb to the Base Camp a rewarding one.
The climb from here onward is technical in nature. This expedition gives the climber the rare opportunity of summiting 2 peaks at on go.
