Brief Description
The highest peak in the Saraswati mountain range near Ruinsara Valley in Uttarakhand's Garhwal Himalayas is Black Peak, which stands at 6387 meters/20960 ft. Black Peak is known as "Kalanag" in the local dialect because the top part of the peak resembles a Black Cobra.
In the Bandarpunch massif, it is the highest and most visible peak. The ascent to Black Peak's summit is challenging and technical, with a slow ascent from the southern side ultimately leading to a very steep summit climb with a near-70-degree incline and a 75-foot ice wall.
It is only chosen by experienced climbers as a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Black Peak is part of the Govind National Park area, which is known for its varied flora and fauna ( Kalanag ).
The route to the peak is lined with beautiful alpine meadows, pine trees, moraine ridges, boulders, and glacier basins.
Reaching the summit of the Black Peak, which is the highest peak in the range between Saraswati Devi Parvat (Bandarpunch I, 6316 m) and Hanuman Parvat (White Peak or Bandarpunch II, 6102 m), will take a lot of effort and experience, pushing you to your limits while rewarding you with unmatched views of the entire Bandarpunch family, is a dream come true for any aspiring trekker and mountaineer.

At the base of a mountain range, Kyarkoti is a grassy patch of land surrounded by boulders. It is surrounded on three sides by snow-capped mountains. Because of the nearby spring, it's an ideal location for our base camp. Only porters are capable of transporting our freight. Black Peak can be seen from the base camp.
Day 5: Base Camp – Camp 1 (4600m) Load Ferry
On this day, we'll load the ferry and set up camp 1. You'll arrive at Camp 1 after four hours of trekking from the base camp. After crossing a high land near our base camp, we'll trek on grassy land with a mild downslope to a spring sprinkled with boulders. After a steep ascent, we can reach the route that passes through the landslide area. Following that, we'll descend another grassy path to two moraines patches. We'll have to do some rapid bouldering at the end of the trek to get to Camp 1. Camp 1 will be built on a rough grassy area with a mild westward slope. A ridge runs along the north side of it. On the other hand, it is flanked by an east-west flowing glacier.
Day 6: Base Camp – Camp 1
We'll set up Camp 1 and spend the night there.
Day 7: Camp 1 – Camp 2 (5100m) Load Ferry

The final 100 feet leading up to the summit are the most difficult and perilous. Because of the steepness of the slope, working with snow would be impossible. During the day, our lead climber will open and close the route as needed. The summit is finally situated on a plateau. Its top is flat. We've arrived at Black Peak's 6387m summit (kalanag).

Yes, fitness is essential for a trek, especially if you intend to take on a difficult trek in the Himalayas or other mountainous locations. Trekking entails walking for long periods of time through uneven terrain, often ascending and descending steep hills at high heights. To complete the walk safely and enjoyably, you must have a particular level of physical fitness.
Here are some of the reasons why fitness is essential for a trek:
- Endurance: Trekking is a physically difficult sport that necessitates endurance. You may be walking for several hours each day over several days, therefore it is critical to have a decent degree of cardiovascular fitness to keep up with the pace of the trek.
- Strength: Because you may be climbing steep hills and descending rocky terrain, trekking requires strength, particularly in the lower body. You may also need to carry a rucksack with your gear and supplies, thus strong leg muscles are required to hold the weight.
- Altitude: Many treks in the Himalayas and other hilly places include high-altitude trekking, which can result in altitude sickness. Physical fitness can help lower the risk of altitude sickness since your body adapts better to the thin air at higher elevations.
- Enjoyment: Being physically fit will help you appreciate the journey more since you will be able to keep up with the group and take in the lovely landscape without being too tired.
