Panpatia Col

The Panpatia Col is one high altitude mountain pass that gets across the Panpatia Glacier at an elevation of 4200 m, surrounded by other major peaks of Garhwal region. It forms an important bridge between the significant Hindu pilgrimage sites, Kedarnath and Badrinath. Historically it was considered as an ancient route from where the devotees used to trek from Kedarnath to reach Badrinath in 1 day. The route got lost with time only to be re-discovered by legendary mountaineers Shipton and Tillman. Henceforth, it got listed in the trekking map of Garhwal. The passage of this trek is filled with enriched beauty of mountains, encircled with alpine meadows and flowers. It showcases a spectacular view of Chaukhamba, Neelkanth and Parvati peaks and sight of Sujal Sarovar, the high glacial lake is an icing on the cake. A stroll on this trail only exudes peace and calmness. To pursue this trek the group must come well prepared with good physical fitness for high altitude survival. It is definitely not a trek for first-time hiker.
