'''Dunagiri''' (7,066 m) is one of the high peaks of the [[Kumaon Division|Chamoli District]] [[Himalayas]] in the northern [[India]]n state of [[Uttarakhand]]. It lies at the northwest corner of the Sanctuary Wall, A ring of peaks surrounding [[Nanda Devi]] and enclosing the [[Nanda Devi National Park|Nanda Devi Sanctuary]]. <br />
<br />
According to ''[[Ramayana]]'', Sanjeevani is a magical herb which has the power to cure serious nervous system problems. It was believed that medicines prepared from this herb could revive in any situations where death is almost certain. The herb is mentioned in the ''Ramayana'' when [[Ravana]]'s son [[Indrajit]] (Meghnada) hurls a powerful weapon at [[Lakshmana]]. Lakshmana is badly wounded and is nearly killed. [[Hanuman]] was called upon to fetch this herb from the mount '''Dronagiri''' (Mahodaya) or '''Gandhamardhan''' hills, far to the north of the Vindhyas on the slopes of the Himalayas. The mountain of herbs is identified as the Valley of Flowers near Badri in Uttarakhand on the slopes of the Himalayas. It is sometimes called Gandhamardan, and at other times Dronagiri. Upon reaching Dronagiri Parvata or Gandhamardan, Hanuman could not identify the herb and lifted the whole mountain and brought it to the battlefield.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.thehindu.com/society/history-and-culture/the-legend-behind-nanda-devi/article17475603.ece | title=Peaks that became temples | work=The Hindu | date=16 March 2017 | access-date=1 December 2020}}</ref><br />

Dunagiri was first climbed on 5 July 1939<ref name="year">Some sources say 1947.</ref> by the [[Switzerland|Swiss]] climbers [[André Roch]], [[Fritz Steuri|F. Steuri]] and [[David_Zogg|D. Zogg]], via the southwest ridge. In 1975, [[Joe Tasker]] and Dick Renshaw climbed a particularly difficult route on the southeast buttress in a significant milestone for alpine-style climbing.<ref name="him_alpine_style">Andy Fanshawe and Stephen Venables, ''Himalaya Alpine-Style'', Hodder and Stoughton, 1995, {{ISBN|0-340-64931-3}}</ref> In 1978 the first Australian Himalayan expedition by the Australian National University Mountaineering Club made the fourth ascent via the south-west ridge.<ref>{{cite book|last=Steffen|first=Will|title=Himalayan Dreaming: Australaian mountatineering in the great ranges of Asia 1922-1990|year=2010|publisher=ANU E Press|location=Canberra|isbn=978-1-921666-16-2|pages=593}}</ref> [[Lincoln Hall (climber)|Lincoln Hall]] and [[Tim Macartney-Snape]] made the final summit attempt with Macartney-Snape successfully summiting.<br />
