Crag features
Sirbal Peak is a mountain with a peak elevation of 17,178 ft (5,236 metres), in Ganderbal district of Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir, in the vicinity of Sonamarg.
Lots of different routes up to the summit (mostly scrambles with some ice work) and increasingly rock routes on the slopes due to being next to the Kargil -Srinagar road and campsites in Sonamarg.
Sirbal Peak stands unclimbed. A Scottish Colonel N. N. L. Watts made an attempt in the second week of June 1933. He had attained more than 15000 feet, but he was caught in the bad weather and had to descend to the base camp Baltal along with his partner a local man hailing from Sopore.
Approach notes
Sirbal Peak is part of the Himalaya Range, and is located between Sonamarg and Baltal. It lies 102km northeast from Srinagar, 5 km from Sonamarg in the east. Sirbal Peak lies 6km west of Zojila. It rises from a glacier 5km ahead from Sonamarg on left side of NH 1D. The melt waters from the glacier add to the flow of Nallah Sindh. Sirbal Peak is visible from Sonamarg head towards north and from Nichinai pass towards east.
