The Trishul group forms the southwest corner of the ring of peaks enclosing the [[Nanda Devi]] Sanctuary, about {{Convert|15|km|mi|0}} west-southwest of Nanda Devi itself. The main peak, Trisul I, was the first peak over {{Convert|7000|m|ft|-1|abbr=on}} to have ever been climbed, in 1907.

==Description of the massif and neighbouring peaks==
The three peaks are named Trisul I, Trisul II, and Trisul III. The [[massif]] is a north-south ridge, with Trisul I at the north end and Trisul III at the south. The massif runs roughly North-South, and hence appears compressed when viewed from the south ([[Ranikhet]], [[Kausani]]), and more stretched out from the Southeast ([[Chamoli]], [[Bedini Bugyal]]).
