Pangarchulla Trek Overview

About Pangarchulla Trek:

Pangarchulla is one of our most coveted summit climbs. If timed right, the summit climb to Pangarchulla is out of the world! You make your way to 15,010 ft up a summit ridge, which gives a very high feeling of adventure. This is a challenging trek. The climb to the summit takes the wind out of you, which is why it needs proper training for at least a month and a half before you attempt it. But if you’re fit and well-prepared, I don’t think anything would match up to the high you get when you climb the Pangarchulla summit. Exposed. The trek becomes very difficult to navigate.

A big bonus that most trekkers tend to miss is the views on the trek. The Pangarchulla trek passes through the Nanda Devi Sanctuary. So the trail is blessed with views of Mt.Nanda Devi, Chaukhamba, Dunagiri, Hathi Parbat, Ghori Parbat, and more. These are a real treat for the eyes!

Good timing

I recently did the Pangarchulla Trek in Uttarakhand and it was amazing! You may see bears or Ghoral (mountain Got) while climbing, the difficulty level is moderate to difficult, as you go high you might feel light-headed or some may get breathless because of the high altitude.

Heena Pandav

Beautiful nature

The good thing about this trek is that you can experience all kinds of terrain while trekking and enjoying. One should do this trek if he/she wants to meet nature and wants to feel it It was awesome. Good communication and well manor of their people.

Devagya

Excellent

The trek was not too strenuous and suitable for slightly older people like me. Felt a little stiff every now and then, but the trek leader was very cooperative and would slow down to give me a few minutes of rest. Returned home safe and sound.
