==Climbing history==

A four-man British team comprising Simon Yearsley, Steve Adderley, Malcolm Bass and Julian Clamp used the Swetvarn Glacier for their approach to Yogeshwar. On October 2, except Steve Adderley other three made the second ascent of Yogeshwar (6678 meters, 21,910 feet) by a new dangerous south face route. They thought they are making the first ascent, without knowing that in June, 1991 an Indian team led by Ramakant Mahadik had climbed Yogeshwar by the southeast ridge. They established their Base Camp and Advance Base camp at 4800 and 5500 meters. Steve and Julian made an attempt on the west ridge on 24 September. They gained this via the north col between Yogeshwar and Chaturbhuj (6655 m), but came back from 6200 m in the face of unstable snow condition on the ridge.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Yearsley |first1=Simon |title=AAC Publications - Asia, India—Kumaon and Garhwal, Yogeshwar |journal=publications.americanalpineclub.org |date=1993 |url=http://publications.americanalpineclub.org/articles/12199324404/Asia-IndiaKumaon-and-Garhwal-Yogeshwar |access-date=5 May 2020}}</ref>

==Glaciers and rivers==
There are four glaciers around Yogeshwar two on the northern side and two on the southern side. On the southern side [[Swetvarn Glacier]] on the south west side and [[Shyamvarn Glacier]] on the south east side both these glacier joins [[Raktvarn Glacier]] which itself ultimately drains near Gangotri glacier from where emerges [[Bhagirathi river]] the main tributaries of river [[Ganga]]. On the Northern side, [[Gulligad Glacier]] on the north west side and [[Lambigad Glacier]] on the north east side both this glacier drains down to Jadh Ganga which also met Bhagirathi river near Bharionghati. Bhagirathi joins the [[Alaknanda River]] the other main tributaries of river [[Ganga]] at [[Dev Prayag]] and called Ganga there after.<ref>{{cite news |title=Devprayag {{!}} Times of India Travel |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/travel/devprayag/devprayag/amp_poishow/48770387.cms |access-date=22 May 2020 |work=timesofindia.indiatimes.com}}</ref>
