Overview

Pangarchulla, also known as the Chimney Peak, adorns the Lord Curzon circuit, which is widely considered among the most legendary hiking routes in the Garhwal Himalaya. Mountaineering enthusiasts may test their non-technical climbing abilities on this peak, which stands at an elevation of 4,590 metres. Even though this journey in Uttarakhand is available at any time of the year, the snow that falls during the winter months makes it impassable. If the level of excitement is directly proportional to the degree of difficulty, then the Pangarchulla Peak Trek in the wintertime would be an adventure that courageous people cannot afford to miss out on.

Moderate to Difficult

The path leading to Pangarchulla and Kauri Pass is unaltered right up to the last day of the hike. You have a clear view of Nanda Devi to your left and the crown of Pangarchulla to your right, both perched above a deep forest that is heavy with pine trees, while you are driving to Dhak, which is the head trail for this spectacular summit.

Delight in the breathtaking views of breathtaking mountains like Mount Nanda Devi, Chaukhamba, Donagiri, Kedarnath, Neelkanth, Haathi-Parbat, Ghori Parbat, and many more.

The Pangarchulla trek takes you through various landscapes relatively short, exposing you to a wide range of environments along the way. These environments include local towns, dust trails that lead to vast open meadows, dense forests, pristine streams, and rocky patches that lead into the white of the snow.
