Hi Tok,

Koteswar, Saife may be easy and marching peak but u still need little experience to climb them...... according to IMF rules 80 percent of the climbers in a team shuld be qualified in mountaineering and the leader shuld have prior experiences ,and i think these applyes to these peaks also....moreover now a days u also have to get prior permission from uttaranchal govt to climb peaks in uttaranchal.....

These are good option Shitidhar, Friendship,Ladakhi ........but i still think a little bit of experience is needed to climb this peaks....

kaushal is right and so is mountaingirl and krk

Leave IMF and climb something which is hastle free-there are lot of passes in himalayas which supports a ridge-just climb on. You will find many peaks in CB range.
Solang valley is nursery for clinbers-climb on..and on and on.....
Leave UTTARANCHAL-it will be very very costly and risky.
