The Mighty Jorkanden, is located at an altitude of 6473m above sea level. The peak looks more stunning and beautiful as compared to its peers. Jorkanden peak shines and dazzles in the evening hours when the sun sets and can be best viewed from Reckong Peo, the headquarters of the Kinnaur district. The Kinnaur Kailash peak is its neighbor but its height is less as compared to the Mighty Jorkanden. It looks best at twilight and if we are lucky we can get the best view of this mountain giant. Jorkanden is a shining peak in Greater Himachal and the sight is rewarding for any passionate photographer and mountain lover. The peak looks dazzling in the morning and before dusk. The mountain is one of the largest and can be sighted in various regions in Himachal Pradesh. The peak is easy to track as it is most visible along with the Kinnaur Kailash peak and the glorious sights can be best sighted during the winter and summer months when the weather remains crystal clear and free from nimbus clouds.

The best time to view the peak with all its characteristics would be around May-June since the sky remains clear and clouds don’t come down and there is less chance of rainfall during this time frame. The road to Kinnaur remains mostly closed during other parts of the year so it’s not possible to catch a glimpse of this mighty peak. Its worth and quite an enriching experience for people who have climbed this giant as this is the highest peak in the Kinnaur Kailash range and all other peaks in the belt can be easily accessible from Jorkanden.   There are other parts of Himachal from where one can get a glimpse of this giant like Kalpa and Karcham. But the best view of it is possible from Reckong Peo(Kinnaur) as the belt of mountains comes closer and it seems like humans are not far away from them.
