geo.wikisort.org - MountainsJorkanden is a 6,473-metre Himalayan peak in the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh.[2] It is the highest peak in the Kinner Kailash range of the Greater Himalayas.[3] An expedition team of the Indo-Tibetan Border Police first climbed the peak on 26 May, 1974.[1][3] The peak is often confused with the Kinnaur Kailash peak (6,050m), which can be distinguished through its distinctly pointed 'pillar' on top, which is worshipped as a shivling, abode of the Indian god Shiva.[4]
