Neelkant base

Nilkantha (or Neelakant , Neelkanth , Nilkanth ,
Nilkanta) is a major peak of the Garhwal division of the Himalayas , in the Uttarakhand region
Although substantially lower than the highest peaks of the region, it towers dramatically over the valley of the Alaknanda River and rises 3,474 metres (11,398 ft) above the Hindu pilgrimage site of
Badrinath, only 9 km (6 mi) to the east.
((Frank Smythe described the peak as "second only to
Siniolchu in Himalayan beauty."))
In Hindu mythology, there was initially no mountain on the spot where Nilkantha stands today. There was an adage [ clarification needed] route between Kedarnath and Badrinath.
(( The"Purahita" or the worshiper of the two temples worshiped them in one day. This continued for a long time until due to some sins of the worshiper, Shiva became displeased with him and stood blocking the way as a huge sky-kissing mountain, which is said to be modern Nilkantha.))
