Trek to Panchachuli in October 2005


Panchachuli is a cluster of five hills in the Garhwal region of Uttranchal. It is very sacred for these people.  Here is one of the peaks of Panchachuli, visible on way to Dharchula, our base for the trek.  Dharchula is the International Border with Nepal. 



This is a reflection of our trek coordinator Kirti in the glasses of one of the teammates.


Our first halt, I do not remember the name.  But one thing I remember is that the ladies of the house were getting prepared for the winter season.  This small girl, I do not remember how many rounds she had completed to collect this fodder.
