Your adventure begins from Rishikesh. Drive towards the beautiful Garhwal Himalayas, passing through mountain villages, rivers and winding Himalayan roads. Reach Karchi, the trek starting point, by evening. Meet the trek team, complete the briefing and prepare for the following day's trek.
Overnight: Karchi
Meal: Dinner
After breakfast, begin your trek from Karchi towards Akgargota. The trail gradually enters dense Himalayan forests, with a mix of uphill sections and relatively easy stretches. As you gain altitude, the surroundings become quieter and the views begin to open up.
Reach the campsite by evening and relax around the camp while preparing for the next day's trek.
Overnight: Camp at Akgargota
Trek: Approx. 6–8 km
Meal: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Start the day with breakfast and continue towards Khullara. The trail takes you deeper into the high-altitude Himalayan landscape, with forests gradually giving way to open meadows.
On a clear day, you can enjoy impressive views of the surrounding Garhwal peaks. Reach Khullara, settle into camp and rest well because the next morning is the challenging Pangarchulla Summit Day.
Overnight: Camp at Khullara
Trek: Approx. 5–7 km
Meal: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
This is the most challenging and exciting day of the trek. Start early morning, usually before sunrise, for the ascent towards Pangarchulla Peak.
The trail becomes steeper as you approach the summit, with rocky and snow-covered sections depending on the season. After a challenging climb, reach the Pangarchulla Summit, where you can enjoy spectacular panoramic views of the Himalayan ranges.
Spend some time at the summit for photographs and then begin the descent back towards Khullara.
Overnight: Camp at Khullara
Trek: Approx. 10–12 km
Meal: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
After breakfast, leave Khullara and continue towards the legendary Kuari Pass. The trail crosses beautiful alpine meadows and high-altitude terrain.
Kuari Pass is famous for its wide Himalayan panoramas, offering views of several prominent peaks on clear days. Enjoy the dramatic mountain scenery along the route before reaching the campsite.
Overnight: Camp
Trek: Approx. 8–10 km
Meal: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Wake up surrounded by the Himalayas and enjoy the morning mountain views. After breakfast, begin your descent towards Karchi.
The descent is generally easier than the summit day, but you should still maintain a comfortable pace because of the long trail. Reach Karchi by afternoon/evening and relax after completing the high-altitude section of the trek.
Overnight: Karchi
Meal: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
After breakfast, check out from Karchi and begin your drive back to Rishikesh.
Enjoy the final views of the Garhwal Himalayas along the way. On arrival in Rishikesh, the Kuari Pass with Pangarchulla Trek comes to an end with beautiful memories of the Himalayas.
