Kamet (7,756 meters): An Overview Ascending Kamet, standing at 7,756 meters, is the second-highest peak in the Garhwal region of Uttarakhand, India, and the third highest peak entirely within the country. The mountain's remote location and challenging weather conditions make it a formidable climb. The first successful ascent was in 1931 by Frank Smythe, Eric Shipton, R.L. Holdsworth, and Lewa Sherpa. The traditional route approaches from the East Kamet Glacier and involves several high camps before reaching the summit. Climbing Kamet requires navigating steep ice walls, crevasses, and high-altitude snow fields, demanding technical expertise and acclimatization (BYJU'S) (Knowledge Of India - Discovery Of India).
