It is very difficult to conquer Bhagirathi 2 peak
Please tell that Bhagirathi 2 peak is 6,512 meters high. To go here, first of all one has to reach Gangotri Dham from Uttarkashi. Then one has to reach the base camp located at an altitude of about 4,040 meters on foot from Gangotri via Bhoj Basa and Nandan Van. Here the Bhagirathi peak has to be conquered from the advance base camp. It is not easy to conquer Bhagirathi peak. Here the weather changes from moment to moment, in such a way climbing is quite challenging.
