is a another dramatic peak in the garhwal himalayas lying between Thalay Sagar and Shivling, and has some highly challenging routes. Considered to be a much tougher technical climb than most 8000ers.

At 6,660 metres (21,850 ft) high, it was the site of the world's highest BASE Jump from 'Earth'

Also featured in 2015 documentary called "Meru" about the much famed shark fin route. Best views can be seen from Gangotri National Park

Standing tall above Gangotri Glacier in and also Called "Matterhorn of the East", Mt. Shivling(6501 mtr) is not of great elevation, it is a dramatic rock peak, and most visually striking peak seen from Gaumukh; that and the difficulty of the climb make it a famed prize for mountaineers.

Lying on a spur projecting out from the main ridge that forms the southwest side of the Gangotri Glacier basin; this ridge contains other well-known peaks such as Bhagirathi, Thalay Sagar and Meru.

A German expedition led by R. Schwarzgruber climbed nearby peaks and did a reconnaissance of Shivling in 1938 and reported "no feasible route" on the mountain due to its steepness and the threat of falling seracs. Finally climbed in June 1974 via the west ridge, by a team from the Indo-Tibetan Border Police, led by Hukam Singh. The ridge is the lowest-angle feature on the mountain, but still involves serious mixed climbing, and is threatened by the serac barrier noted by the Germans.

Best places to gaze the mountain are around Gangotri himalayas and more breathtaking views are seen by advacing towards Gaumukh. One can visit the Gangotri Glacier on a guided trip of few people revealing various secrets hidden in this part of world. Sudarshan Sati and Deepak Semwal
