Panwali Kantha is an ideal trek for first-timers, one that kindles a certain interest & passion for the mountains. Situated between the Bhagirathi & Mandakini valleys, the trek offers some of the best 360-degree views of Garhwal Himalayan mountains, especially of the Kedarnath range. The trek starts off gradually in the Bhilangna valley's village of Gwan and initially goes through jungles. Soon, you climb up beyond the tree line & reach the vast meadows of Matiya from where the views start to get better and better. The highest point on the trek is Pawanli Kantha at 3650m where you get to see prominent snow peaks like Bandarpunch, Thalay Sagar, Meru, Kirti Stambh, Kedar Dome, Kedarnath, Chaukhambha, Nilkanth & Nanda Devi. We also climb up to another viewpoint called Jardi top before we descend.

What to expect

Any trip rated as a 'Beginner Trek' is an ideal first step into the world of trekking in the Himalaya. The trips are short - generally under a week - in moderate altitudes with gradual altitude gain. A typical day will involve 4-5hrs of hiking on mountainous trails with an odd day over 6hrs. Most beginner treks in the Indian Himalaya are camping trips where overnight accommodation will be in tents. You will be accompanied by our camping and kitchen staff throughout the trip. 

This trek suits individuals looking for their maiden trek in the Himalayas or families which want to introduce their young ones to trekking.
