The wonderful mountain of Shivling, "the phallus of Shiva", may be the most stunning peak of the Garhwal region. Many consider it to be the most beautiful mountain in the world! Its spectacular form is often compared to that of the Matterhorn as it rises as a sheer pyramid above the snout of the Gangotri Glacier. After British exploration of the Gangotri Glacier in 1933, a German expedition undertook a reconnaissance of Shivling in 1938.
