List of mountain peaks of Uttarakhand

Uttarakhand is a Himalayan state of India. This hilly state contains, in its northern section, some of the highest mountain peaks in the world. Many of them are unclimbed; many are unnamed. A large number of peaks in Uttarakhand are still not open for climbing due to security reasons, as this region borders Tibet. Following is a list of selected named peaks of Uttarakhand with elevation over 6,000 m (19,700 ft). Of the highest major summits of Uttarakhand, 2 peaks exceed 7,500 m (24,600 ft), 13 other peaks exceed 7,000 m (23,000 ft), further 89 peaks exceed 6,500 m (21,300 ft) and at least 99 other peaks exceed 6,000 m (19,700 ft) in elevation.
