Panpatia Col Trek - Advenchar

Panpatia Col Trek

Panpatia Col Trek in the Himalayas is an adventure that will leave you in awe of nature’s majesty. This trek is a challenging expedition that traverses through the shortest route that connects Badrinath and Kedarnath. It stands tall at an elevation of 5,260 m (17,257 ft) and is one of the least traversed routes by trekkers. The trek route is only about 60 kilometers long, but the journey is packed with unique experiences and breathtaking views!

The trek starts with a drive from Haridwar to Joshimath, followed by another drive on the second day. The trek route is at times tedious as it takes you through a 7-kilometer stretch of Panpatia snowfield. However, the view from the snowfield boasts some unparalleled scenery of various prominent Himalayan peaks such as Nilkantha, Balakun, Hathi Parvat, and Dhauliganga.

As you trek, you will walk through narrow mountain ridges and moraine trails. You will tread on the vast glacial terrain, which offers stunning views that will be etched in your memory forever. The campsites are located in tapered valleys where you fall asleep under the shimmering stars that adorn the Himalayan sky. On this trek, you walk through Parvati Gully and camp beside a small lake, which is yet another unique experience. In the end, you walk through lush green forests on the final stretch of the trek.

The trek is a perfect fit for adventure enthusiasts who are ready for the challenge that it poses. It offers the ultimate experience of the Himalayan mountain range. The journey takes you past some of the highest mountains in the Himalayas and roaring streams. On rest days, you walk amidst the alpine trees and take in the natural beauty around you.

This trek requires you to use semi-mountaineering techniques and equipment in some parts. Planning an adventure in the Himalayas for this trek will make you relive the tales from regional legends and fables, where there was a saint who could cross this route in one day. The col of the Panpatia serves as the watershed between Badrinath and Kedarnath, i.e., Alaknanda and Mandakini river system.

The trek is a rare chance to experience some of the unique and untouched locations in the Himalayas. If you’re ready to explore the Himalayas in-depth and have an experience of a lifetime, the Panpatia Col Trek is just the adventure for you!

We start our journey by driving from Joshimath to Hanuman Chatti, a small village tucked away in the picturesque Himalayas. Along the way, we get to enjoy the refreshing cool breeze and feast our eyes on the breathtaking scenery.

As we wind our way through the winding roads, we cross a suspension bridge over the majestic Alaknanda River. The river moves gracefully, carving its way through the valley and gurgling with a soothing sound.

After this exhilarating drive, we start our trek from the point where the Khirao Ganga flows into the Alaknanda River. We make our way to Khirao, which is a small village situated in this valley situated along the Khirao Ganga.

As we continue our trek, we’ll camp at a clearing above the river.

Distance: 7 km
Time: 5 hours
Shepherd Camp Altitude: 3,580 m (11,745 ft)

The Shepherd Camp, our destination for the day, lures us with its natural beauty and scenic views.

As we start our trek from Khirao, we have the opportunity to get a glimpse of the lives of the local people of Khirao. During summer, the villagers of Khirao are busy with their terraced farms and some migrate to higher meadows, leaving behind the village in serene tranquility. Thus, our trek towards the Shepherd Camp is an opportunity to savor the gift of Mother Nature while indulging in the charms of the wild.

The initial climb takes us from the village through the treeline following steep grassy slopes. Gradually, we ascend to the tree line, marked by flags on the boulders. And as we advance, the grandeur of the landscape unfolds before our very eyes.

After trekking for a while, we arrive at our campsite, strategically located to offer us a panoramic view of the surroundings. The views are nothing short of spectacular; the snow-capped peaks, glimmering rivers, and verdant forests are sights to behold.

Day 4Shepherd Camp to Snout Camp

Distance: 4 km
Time: 3 Hours
Snout Camp Altitude: 3,900 m (12,795 ft)

Starting from Shepherd’s camp, a short, but scenic walk takes you to the snout of the magnificent Panpatia glacier. As you make your way across the landscape, you’ll be greeted by sweeping views of the surrounding natural beauty, which will leave you awestruck.

The snout of Panpatia glacier, located a mere 10 minutes away from this campsite, is a serene and tranquil spot that serves as the perfect respite from nature’s dynamic elements. Once you’ve arrived, you’ll be able to take in the stunning vistas of the panoramic mountain range of the Himalayas.

Here, at the Snout camp, we set up tents for you to relax and unwind, taking in all the natural beauty that surrounds you. As night falls, retire to your cozy tent, listening to the gentle sound of the nearby bubbling stream, while letting the serene atmosphere envelop you, transporting you to a world that is peacefully still.

Day 5Snout Camp to Moraine Camp

Distance: 4.5 km
Time: 5 Hours
Moraine Altitude: 5,070 m (16,635 ft)

Today’s trek takes us from Snout Camp to Moraine Camp and is the perfect opportunity to prepare your lungs for the days ahead with some gradual height gain.

We’ll start with a long uphill walk on the never-ending moraine, which might seem to be a bit monotonous at first. But fear not, as we’ll have the joy of weaving across patches of snow that add variety to our walk and make progress easier. And the rewards for our efforts will be nothing short of unbelievable.

As we make our way forward, we’ll be blessed with stunning views of some of the most prominent peaks in the region, such as Neelkanth and Parvati, which loom large on one side. On the other, a heavily crevassed glacier drops almost vertically, awe-inspiring in its grandeur. And if that’s not enough to take your breath away, we’ll also catch our first glimpse of Chaukhamba here.

Once we reach the Moraine Camp, we’ll set up our tents and enjoy a delicious, hot dinner as we rest for the night. This is the perfect opportunity to admire the natural beauty around us and soak in the serene and tranquil atmosphere.

This will be a relatively long day of trekking, but trust us, it’s worth every inch of the journey. We’ll cross never-ending moraines and weave across patches of snow, amidst sweeping vistas of majestic mountains at every turn. And when we finally retire to our camps for the night, you’ll feel the kind of satisfaction that only comes from being so close to nature.

Day 6 Rest & Acclimatization Day

Rest & Acclimatization Day is a crucial part of the Panpatia Col Trek. This is because as you continue to ascend, the air gets thinner and it may cause some challenges that can potentially spoil your trekking experience. Therefore, acclimatization becomes highly necessary to prevent altitude sickness and other related issues.

To acclimate, it is recommended to rest and not engage in any strenuous activities that can affect your physical health. The idea behind it is to give your body ample time to adapt to the change in altitude. During this period, it’s a great opportunity to take in the stunning beauty of the surrounding landscape while allowing your body to rejuvenate.

Day 7Moraine Camp to Parvati Base Camp

Distance: 4 km
Time: 4 Hours
Parvati Base Camp Altitude: 4,650 m (15,256 ft)

Today’s trek takes us from the Moraine Camp to the base of Parvati Col on the Panpatia Col Trek. Although the walk is short, the incline is steep, making it a challenging yet rewarding experience. As you ascend, the stunning surroundings come into view. With each step, you move closer to the Panpatia snowfield.

We will set up camp just below the Parvati Col, which allows us to be perfectly positioned for the next leg of our adventure. After setting up camp, we will enjoy dinner together under the stars before retiring to our cozy tents for the night. The tranquility of the wilderness coupled with the crisp night air provides the perfect backdrop for a peaceful night’s sleep.

Day 8Parvati Base Camp to Panpatia Snowfield Camp via Parvati Col

Distance: 4 km
Time: 4 Hours
Panpatia Snowfield Altitude: 5,200 m (17,060 ft)

The trek from Parvati Base Camp to Panpatia Snowfield Camp via Parvati Col is not for the faint of heart, as it involves a challenging climb that will bring you to the edge of a terrace. From here, the only way forward is through a steep snow and rock gully, which requires ropes to safely navigate through. 

As you make your way through this treacherous passage, you will feel the adrenaline pumping through your veins, knowing that every step you take brings you one step closer to the breathtaking beauty that awaits you. The pure white snow around you will make you feel small and insignificant, and the towering peaks that surround you will leave you in awe of the majesty of nature.

But the journey does not end here. After navigating the steep climb, you will find yourself traversing through a series of gentle humps. But do not let the serenity of the gentle landscape fool you, for you are headed towards something even greater.

Soon, you will reach the Parvati Col and the Panpatia snowfield — a massive plateau of snow surrounded by towering peaks. Here, you will be awestruck by the beauty of Chaukhamba, which rises in all its glory. And if you’re lucky, you may even catch a glimpse of Nanda Devi.

As you reach the summit, you will be filled with a sense of achievement, knowing that you have conquered one of the most challenging treks in the Himalayas. You will spend the night at the campsite in the Panpatia snowfield, surrounded by majestic mountains and pure white snow. Enjoy a hearty dinner and retire early.

This is no easy feat, but with a negligible ascent, you’ll be able to take in all the sights and sounds along the way. And what sights they are! The towering mountains, the vast glaciers, and the humongous snowfields stretching far into the distance will take your breath away.

Once you’ve completed the traverse, a short climb will lead you to the majestic Panpatia Col. From here, you’ll be treated to impeccable views of the surrounding landscape. It’s the perfect spot to pause, take a deep breath, and soak it all in.

But the adventure doesn’t end there! Beyond Panpatia Col, you’ll experience a vertigo-inducing descent that leads you to Sujal Sarovar, the next campsite. There, you’ll have the opportunity to set up tents for an overnight stay, have dinner, and retire for the night.

Day 10Sujal Sarovar to Kachni

Distance: 6 km
Time: 5 Hours
Kachni Altitude: 4,170 m (12,681 ft)

Today’s trek takes us from Sujal Sarovar to Kachni Tal, a beautiful meadow that overlooks the Madhmaheshwar Ganga. As we leave Sujal Sarovar behind, we ascend towards a small pass that leads to a steep descent through snowy slopes and boulder zones that eventually leads us to Kachni.

As we approach Kachni, the breathtaking view of the Madhmaheshwar Ganga unfolds before us. The serene atmosphere of the meadow is the perfect setting for our campsite for the night, where we will enjoy a delicious dinner before retiring to our cozy tents.

In the morning, we wake up to the sight of the majestic temple below and the twinkling lights of Guptkashi far in the distance. The refreshing mountain air fills us with energy and excitement for the day ahead, as we continue our trek through the stunning natural beauty of the Indian Himalayas.

After this, our guides take us to a nearby tea shop where a warm and delicious lunch awaits us, complementing the calm surroundings perfectly. As we satiate our hunger, we immerse ourselves in conversation, forging connections with our fellow trekkers.

The latter part of the day is more relaxed as we stroll through the peaceful forests, which are alive with chirping birds and buzzing insects. Finally, we arrive at Nanu Chatti, a quaint little settlement consisting of summer homes, reserved for the locals of Gaundhar village.

Though this adventurous journey may have come to an end, the memories will stay with you forever.

Day 14Reserve Day

One critical aspect of any trekking venture is the unpredictability of the weather. Given that, in the Panpatia Col Trek, we’ll be carving our way through the Himalayas; we can’t rule out the possibility of weather disruptions.

This factor and other unforeseen situations may result in delays. To account for such circumstances, we’ve kept a “reserve day,” which will act as a contingency plan. This additional day in our itinerary is crucial because it allows us to stay on track with the expected itinerary, even when things don’t go as planned.

The reserve day is an integral part of our trekking adventure and will ensure that we get the most out of it while being adequately prepared for the unexpected.

To minimize risks, we recommend that you take the following precautions:

Start training at least 3-4 months before your trek by incorporating a mix of cardio exercises (running, cycling, swimming), strength training (focusing on legs, core, and upper body), and flexibility exercises (yoga, stretching). Gradually increase the intensity and duration of your workouts, and try to include regular hikes or long walks with a loaded backpack to simulate trekking conditions.

Practice patience, adaptability, and resilience in your daily life, and maintain a positive attitude throughout your training and trekking journey.

  3. Research and plan: Familiarize yourself with the trek itinerary, route, and potential challenges. Understand the altitude profile, acclimatization schedule, and safety measures in place. Research the local culture, customs, and environmental practices to ensure you are a responsible traveler.

  4. Gather necessary gear and clothing: Based on the expected weather conditions and the packing list provided earlier, gather all the necessary clothing, gear, and equipment for the trek. Invest in good quality items, especially for essentials like trekking boots, backpacks, and outer layers. Make sure to break in your trekking boots well before the trek to avoid blisters and discomfort.

  5. Arrange travel documents and insurance: Ensure that your passport is valid and obtain any necessary visas for your trip. Purchase comprehensive travel insurance that covers emergency evacuation and medical treatment in case of accidents or illnesses during the trek.

  6. Consult your doctor: Schedule a medical check-up with your doctor to discuss any pre-existing conditions, vaccinations, and medications you may need for the trek. Get advice on altitude sickness prevention and management.
