Embark on an unforgettable adventure with our Panchachuli Base Camp Trek Package ex-Kathgodam – a mesmerizing journey into the pristine Darma Valley of Uttarakhand, culminating at the base of the majestic Panchachuli Peaks (6,334m–6,904m). Revered in Hindu mythology as the five cooking stoves (chulis) used by the Pandavas, these snow-clad summits form a dramatic crown over glaciers, moraines, and blooming alpine meadows.
This moderate-grade trek takes you through remote border villages like Dar, Urthing, Nagling, Son, and Dantu/Dugtu, offering panoramic views of Panchachuli I-V, crossing glacial streams, rhododendron forests, and high-altitude pastures. Experience the serenity of the Kumaon Himalayas with minimal crowds, rich local Bhotia culture, and breathtaking sunrises over the peaks.
Starting from Kathgodam railway station, the package includes comfortable road transfers, homestays/camping, veg meals, experienced guides, porters (if needed), and Inner Line Permit assistance for the restricted area. Ideal for adventure enthusiasts, nature lovers, and those seeking a spiritually infused Himalayan escape.

Why we prefer private and small groups? We love to trek in smaller private groups as we believe that it gives the best ambience to experience the Himalayan spirituality, serenity, solitude and rawness. Small groups are also eco friendly, less noisy, safe, friendly, easy to manage and more caring towards each other. Most importantly, private groups are more focused towards their objective which is enjoy being in the nature. We specialize in arranging customized private groups catering to the specific needs.
