Trishul is a group of three peaks named for the trident of Shiva, the tallest at 7,120 m on the south-west rim of the Nanda Devi Sanctuary.
It holds a real place in mountaineering history: Trishul I was climbed in 1907 by Tom Longstaff’s party, the first summit above 7,000 m reached anywhere in the world.
Kausani gives the most famous view — the Trishul–Nanda Devi–Panchachuli panorama that Gandhi called the Switzerland of India. Roopkund and Bedni Bugyal trekkers walk directly beneath its south face.
