INTRODUCTION:

If you are looking for a spectacular climb, the Pangarchulla Peak trek is for you. The summit of the Pangarchulla trek is at an altitude of 15,069 feet. To begin with, Pangarchulla is a 5-day trek (7 days if you include the travel day from Rishikesh). The journey starts from Auli, near Joshimath, in the Garhwal region of Uttarakhand. It is located in Nanda Devi National Park.

This trek is famous for its peak climb. This will be the first thing anyone who has done this trip will remember. The days above are long. You climb over many snow-covered rocks, feeling your feet with every step.

While climbing the mountain itself provides a strong adrenaline rush, the view of the mountain from the top of the mountain makes the experience even better. The trek is accompanied by spectacular views of many of the Himalayan ranges. And above all, they surround you, and they are all close to you. In March and April, they are full of blooming rhododendrons, adding colour to the beautiful forest. Staying at Khullara will completely transport you to another universe.

 Pangarchulla Peak Hike

1. A fun climb

This trek is famous for its peak climb. This will be the first thing anyone who has done this trip will remember. The days above are long. You walk on snow-covered rocks, feeling your feet with every step. As you climb, you will encounter many difficult, steep, and exposed areas, adding to the excitement and adventure. On a top day, you climb 15,069 feet or about 4,000 feet from top to bottom. It all adds up to an interesting and adventurous trip.

 2. A beautiful view of the Himalayas

While climbing the mountain itself provides a strong adrenaline rush, the view of the mountain from the top of the mountain makes the experience even better. The trek is accompanied by spectacular views of many of the Himalayan ranges. And above all, they surround you, and they are all close to you.

This experience is unparalleled and hard to replicate on any other Himalayan trek. A 360-degree view of Hathi Parbat, Mana Mandir, Kamet, Nanda Devi, Dronagiri, Chaukhamba, Ghori Parbat, and many other hills that fit into the mountain legends and myths that surround you

3. Khullara Company

 A small Himalayan camp can compete with Khullara. Khullara is a vast open space surrounded by densely forested hills and breathtaking vistas. Trees, for example, are things in themselves, providing the environment of a fictional forest.

In March and April, they are full of blooming rhododendrons, adding colour to the beautiful forest. Staying at Khullara will completely transport you to another universe. In addition, you can stay two days at the campsite (including the reception day). Even if you ignore these things, the Pangarchulla Peak trek is awesome. The scenery is beautiful, and the difficulty of the trip is worth it. Strong position
