Kedarnath and Badrinath, two of India’s most respected pilgrimage destinations, are connected by the Panpatia glacier, which rules at an astounding height of 17,257/17,260 feet. The Panpatia Glacier hike, shrouded in the haloes of myth and tradition, demonstrates to you the beauty and danger of nature. It leads you through a variety of landscapes, including moraines, scary cliffs, and high altitude passes. This trek borders on a Himalayan expedition granted the semi-technical mountaineering techniques that are required. The most seductive legend surrounding the walk was that priests and sages could complete the journey from Badrinath to Kedarnath in just one day. The Panpatia Glacier trek, one of Uttarakhand’s most difficult hikes, puts your endurance,determination and willpower to the test. Starting at Badrinath, the Panpatia Glacier trek eventually ends at Nilkanth Khal. Some of the most beautiful campsites and meadows may be found there, sitting on the tranquil banks of glacier lakes. A carpet of colourful floral species spreads out, captivating the senses. Strong Himalayan behemoths like Nilkantha, Chaukhamba, Nanda Devi, Kunaling, and Balakun may be seen in the distance. Enjoy spectacular views of theactual glacier and Panpatia plateau. This trek is enjoyed best during the summer and autumn months. No other trek compares to the splendour and the expansive vistas of its Himalayan neighbours, despite the trail’s occasionally rough terrain and plenty of loose stones, crevasses, and icefalls. Also, walking on an actual glacier is petrifying, no doubt, but is also ten times more exhilarating! Lose yourself amidst myth, lores, and a devastatingly beautiful Himalayan heaven as your eyes feast on the magnetic snowy views, and your soul sways in the alluring wilderness.
