SIACHEN CALLING

The Siachen Glacier is located in the extreme north central part of Jammu and Kashmir near the Indo – Tibet border. It is the largest glacier in the world outside the Polar regions. It originates from the Sia Kangri in the Karakoram range and is approximately 72 km in length . It lies in the Karakoram range of mountains at the altitude of 5, 400 meters above the sea level. Just like the other glaciers, Siachen glacier has a vast snow field in the center. It can easily be approached via Skardu in Ladakh. The glaciers melting water is the main source of water for the Nubra river, which further falls into the Shyok River.

Siachen Glacier provides a very good opportunity for mountaineering. The climbing is quite challenging. Every step you climb up to the Siachen glacier is a reward. The curiosity to explore and know as to what lies at the heights, has made mountaineering a serious business at the Siachen Glacier. It is dream come true among the mountaineering enthusiasts. You can also try out other snow sports like skiing, ice skating, and heli skiing here.
