'''Hardeol''' or 'Temple of God' is one of the major peaks of the [[Kumaon division|Kumaon]] [[Himalaya]]. It is the highest peak on the northern side of the ring of peaks guarding the [[Nanda Devi]] Sanctuary, and lies at the northeast corner of this ring. It is situated at the northern end of the Milam valley, in the [[Pithoragarh district]] of [[Uttarakhand]], [[India]]. To its immediate north lies [[Trishuli]], and just south is Rishi Pahar, on a north-south trending ridge leading eventually to Nanda Devi East. Hardeol is also known as Trishuli South.

After a reconnaissance in 1939 and a few serious attempts starting in 1967, the first ascent of Hardeol was made by a team from the [[Indo-Tibetan Border Police]] on 31 May 1978, led by S. P. Mulasi, climbing from the ridge connecting the peak to Trishuli. Only one further ascent, in 1991, is listed in the Himalayan Index.<ref name="him_index"/> This ascent, by a large expedition from the Indian Border Security Force, put five members on the summit on 24 September.<ref name="aaj_1992">''[[American Alpine Journal]]'', 1992, p. 229.</ref>

The best approach to Hardeol is from the eastern side, through the Ikualari glacier and thence to the right, up the Trishuli valley towards the Hardeol [[icefall]]. The nearest road to Hardeol is [[Munsiyari]].
