The Janhukut is a 6805  m high mountain in the Himalayas in Uttarakhand ( India ).

The mountain is located in the Gangotri Group in the eastern Garhwal Himalayas . The Gangotrigletscher flows on its southern flank in a north-westerly direction. Bhagirath Kharak Glacier stretches along the northeast flank of the mountain. A 6040  m high saddle separates the Janhukut from Chaukhamba ( 7138  m ), 5.65 km southeast . Another mountain ridge leads to Satopanth ( 7075  m ), just under 8 kilometers to the north .

In June 2002 the Austrians Josef Jöchler and Christian Zenz tried in vain to climb the mountain for the first time.
