Description
WikipediaJorkanden is a 6,473-metre (21,237 ft) high Himalayan peak in the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh. It is the highest peak in the Kinner Kailash range of the Greater Himalayas. An expedition team of the Indo-Tibetan Border Police first climbed the peak on 26 May 1974. The peak is often confused with the Kinnaur Kailash peak 6,050 metres (19,850 ft), which can be distinguished through its distinctly pointed 'pillar' on top, which is worshipped as a shivling, abode of the Indian god Shiva.
