The Indian Navy’s mountaineering team has successfully scaled Mt Black Peak (6,387 m) in Uttarakhand, showcasing exceptional courage, endurance and team spirit.
Flagged off from INS Satavahana, Visakhapatnam, on 19 September, the 13-member expedition — including two women officers — reached the summit of the tallest peak in the Bandarpoonch Massif, also known as Kala Nag.
Mt Black Peak, the highest mountain in the Saraswati Range, is renowned for its technical challenges and demanding terrain.
The expedition route passed through the scenic Govind National Park in the Gangotri region, offering glimpses of diverse Himalayan flora and fauna.
