If you are searching for an adventurous trekking spot then the Pangarchulla Peak trek is an ideal trek for you as it fulfils your needs. Pangarchulla is a 5-day trek that starts from Auli near Joshimath. Every year several trekkers come to this trek for the summit climb. The snow-covered summits look impressive and will surely melt your heart. As you climb high, you'll explore lots of tricky, steep, and exposed sections which will enhance your trekking experience. Once reached the top of the summit you'll witness the stunning views of the mountains.
The trek is accompanied by Hathi Parbat, Mana Mandir, Kamet, Nanda Devi, Dronagiri, Chaukhamba, Ghori Parbat, and many other peaks that have their own mythological and mountaineering stories. The nearest camping site on the trek is Khullara. Being in Khullara will make you feel like being in an entirely different world. The place is dotted with blooming Rhododendrons enhancing the beauty of the forest. In the early morning, you'll get an opportunity to see some of the stunning views of dense forests and the large mountains from the campsite. Pangarchulla Peak trek is one of the challenging treks due to Challenging uneven trails, long trekking hours, and fewer exit alternatives hence an expert is required while trekking on the route.
April is the only month when you can begin trekking on the Pangarchulla Peak trek. Because in the rest of the months the trek is mostly covered with snow that is considered to be unsafe for the trekkers to trek on the route.
