Panpatia Col Trek
Panpatia Col Trek
The Panpatia Col Trek is one of the most technical and demanding high-altitude treks in the Garhwal Himalayas, linking the sacred shrines of Kedarnath and Badrinath. Sitting at an altitude of 5,260 m (17,260 ft), the pass lies between towering unnamed peaks rising above 5,500 m, making it a true test for seasoned trekkers and aspiring mountaineers.
The route crosses massive glaciers, crevassed snowfields, rugged moraines, and the legendary 7 km-long Panpatia Snowfield. Trekkers are rewarded with spectacular views of Nilkantha, Balakun, Hathi Parvat, and the Dhauliganga range. Remote, extreme, and rarely attempted, the Panpatia Col Trek is meant only for those seeking the ultimate Himalayan challenge.
