Overview

The expedition starts from Mana to Vasundhara falls leaving Alaknanda river behind and following river Sarasvati to the Mana Pass over its left bank at Ghastoli. The route goes through beautiful foliage of different flower species and fascinating Himalayan birds to the transit camp at 4100m. Further we climb over the 1000m almost vertical ridge to the base camp at 4800m. A long and tiring march on the vast moraine stretch would take hours to reach at the advance base camp 5300m. Here at ABC first glimpse of fine looking peak and Chamrao glacier is visible coming down to the Sarasvati River from the east. Meanwhile a load ferry will held on to the camp I 5800m and will be established subsequently. The likeness of the main peak as a crown peak can be seen how it derived by seeing majestic Mukut Parbat and its eastern shoulder. Then move up to the Dakhini Chamrao glacier to establish camp II at 6500m which leads through snow and ice slants to the col at the foot of North West ridge of Mukut Parbat. The slopes during climb dropped to 65-70 degrees over snow rocks ice gully and to the dangerous traverses at initial stages.

Mukut Parbat, Mana, and Gabin surround Mt Kamet Expedition and glaciers present there are Raikana Kamet glacier, West Kamet glacier and East Kamet glacier. The western one drains into Saraswati River and the Eastern one into Dhauliganga River.
