Panchachuli Base Camp Trek, Uttarakhand
Nestled amid snow-clothed mountains, the Panchachuli Base Camp begins from the Darma valley of Pithoragarh district. Blessed with stunning natural vistas, the trek trail to Panchachuli glacier, amid the Kumaon Himalayas, is festooned with snow-covered peaks, varied flora, and fauna, gushing rivers, Alpine meadows, and appealing landscapes. Lying along the River Dhauliganga, the trekking route, placed in the eastern Kumaon Himalayas, is like a connecting link between Darma valley and Gori Ganga Valley.
Dar is the last road that is around 42 km Dharchula. The walk from Dar to the glacier is a pleasing one. The trek takes you through tribal hamlets like Sela, Bongling, Duktu, Nagling, and Baaling and Duktu that are placed beside Dhauliganga River, and thick deodar, Bhojpatra, and conifer jungles.
The 5 snow-clad mountains of Panchachuli offer a stunning sight and beautify the Him Khand, River Yuli enveloped by lush forests of Deodar, and conifer trees. The scenic beauty throughout the trek is matchless.
