Photographer’s Note

Trisul (Hindi: त्रिशूल) is a group of three Himalayan mountain peaks of western Kumaun, in the central part of Uttarakhand state of India, near the Bageshwar district. They form the southeast corner of the ring of peaks enclosing the Nanda Devi Sanctuary, and are located about 15 kilometres (9 mi) west-southwest of Nanda Devi itself. Trisul is named after the trident of Lord Shiva. The main peak, Trisul I, is notable for being the first peak over 7,000 m (22,970 ft) to have ever been climbed, in 1907.
