PANGARCHULLA: INTRODUCTION
Pangarchulla becomes a beautiful climbing objective in the spring after having accumulated snow over the
winter. An easy low peak which gives a good feel of a climb; plodding the crisp morning snow with amazing
views of high mountains. This trip offers a challenge and loads of photo opportunities. Just perfect for anyone
trying to wet their feet with their first Himalayan Summit.
