What we know

Granite dome with long slab routes. Its south face was first climbed in October 1984 by Kanhai Datta, Charu Sharma and Mandip Singh Soin. The forest department treats the face as off limits: check before you go.

This is a smaller area. It has few climbs or little written down. Do not expect a guide, pad rental or a place to stay for climbers. Go with someone who knows the place, and check access before you travel.
