Although, there are some sections where one needs to have ropes & ice axe to go through, climbing this peak is an adventure in itself. One needs to go along the route to #Kuaripass & then move ahead from Gelgad further for climbing #Pangarchulla. We climbed this peak on 30th May 2019. We started from lower Khullara camp at 2 am in the morning & reached few feet below the summit at around 8:30 am. Post monsoons, there is hardly any ice cover, but exposed boulders pose a major challenge.
You get to see the peaks – Neelgiri, Hati parvat, Ghori parvat, Palki, Mt Barman, Dronagiri, Nanda Devi along the trail. From top of Pangarchulla the range comprising of Bandarpoonch, Chaukhamba, Parvati, Neelkanth, Kamet, Cangabang, Trishuli, Ronti saddle along with the above becomes visible.
