Description
The Nilgiri Himal (निलगिरी हिमाल) is a cluster of peaks at the northern end of Nepal's Annapurna massif, rising above the deep Kali Gandaki Valley near Jomsom and Mustang. Its main summits are Nilgiri North (7,061 m), Nilgiri Central (6,940 m) and Nilgiri South (6,839 m). Nilgiri North was first climbed in October 1962 by the Netherlands Himalayan Expedition, led by the renowned French climber Lionel Terray. Nilgiri South was first ascended in 1978 by a Shinshu University (Japan) team under Kazuo Mitsui, and Nilgiri Central on 30 April 1979 by a Matsuyama University team under Masaki Aoki. On 26 October 2015 an Austrian team (Hansjörg Auer, Alexander Blümel and Gerhard Fiegl) made the first ascent of the south face of Nilgiri South, but Gerhard Fiegl fell some 800 m to his death on the descent, overcome by exhaustion. For most visitors Nilgiri is best known as the dramatic ice wall that dominates the views from Jomsom and the Mustang trekking routes.

Routes
Dinding Selatan Nilgiri South (rute 2015)
Sangat teknis & berbahayaDinding selatan Nilgiri South (6.839 m) baru dipanjat pertama kali pada 26 Oktober 2015 oleh tim Austria; pada penurunan, Gerhard Fiegl jatuh ~800 m dan tewas. Rute alpine curam berketinggian tinggi yang menegaskan bahaya nyata gugus Nilgiri—untuk pendaki elite saja.
Jalur pendakian pertama Nilgiri North (Ekspedisi Belanda 1962)
Mountaineering es/salju teknis, >7.000 mNilgiri North (7.061 m) pertama kali dipuncaki pada Oktober 1962 oleh Ekspedisi Himalaya Belanda pimpinan Lionel Terray. Sebuah pendakian ekspedisi serius di medan gletser dan es tinggi; puncak jarang diulang dan tetap menuntut logistik penuh serta tim berpengalaman.
Pendekatan pemandangan via Jomsom / Kali Gandaki (non-puncak)
TrekkingBagi mayoritas pengunjung, Nilgiri dinikmati sebagai panorama dari jalur trek Lembah Kali Gandaki dan Jomsom/Mustang, atau dari pendekatan North Annapurna Base Camp—bukan pendakian puncak. Butuh izin ACAP.
Climbing Experiences
The Nilgiri Himal is a technical, seldom-climbed ice wall, but one of the most iconic panoramas along the Mustang/Jomsom routes and the North Annapurna Base Camp approach. The videos below show a virtual tour of its peaks and views from Jomsom, the Kali Gandaki Valley and Lower Mustang.
