Descriptions

Pangarchulla Peak Trek

Pangarchulla Peak Trek is a challenging high-altitude Himalayan adventure in Uttarakhand, leading to the summit of Pangarchulla at around 4,590 metres. The trek begins from the Rishikesh–Joshimath region and passes through traditional mountain villages, oak and rhododendron forests, alpine landscapes and high mountain terrain.

The route gradually gains altitude through Tugasi, Gulling and Khullara, giving trekkers time to experience the changing Himalayan landscape before the summit climb. The trail offers impressive views of Dronagiri, Hathi Ghoda, Kamet, Neelkanth and Chaukhamba along the approach.

The highlight is the summit day, where the trail becomes steeper and may involve snow slopes, ridges and technical sections depending on conditions. From the summit, trekkers can enjoy wide views towards Nanda Ghunti, Trishul, Dronagiri, Kamet and Chaukhamba.

Day 1 – Rishikesh to Tugasi

Begin your Pangarchulla Peak Trek with a scenic drive from Rishikesh towards Tugasi/Dhak. The route follows the mountain valleys and tributaries of the Ganga, passing through the beautiful forests and valleys of Garhwal. As you travel beyond Pipalkoti, the landscape gradually changes as you approach the Greater Himalayan range. On arrival at Tugasi, settle into your accommodation and enjoy the surrounding mountain scenery, with Mt. Dronagiri providing an impressive backdrop. If time permits, the nearby hot springs and the Lata–Reini region can also be explored.

The surrounding Himalayan peaks become increasingly prominent, and on clear days you may get views of Dronagiri, Hathi Ghoda, Kamet and Neelkanth.
