 BEST TIME FOR THIS TREK 

 The best time to trek Pangarchulla  is from  May to October. You can see snow-capped peaks and  walk on one too. The risk and complexity of the hike also depends on the month you decide to go to the peak. The post-monsoon period is also considered a very good time for this trip. Similar to winters, there is heavy snowfall in the mountains  and during monsoon, the movement of people is difficult and slippery. 

 DIFFICULTY  

 This can be considered a difficult hike because the terrain is not suitable for beginners. It is located at a high altitude, so some people may have breathing problems. There is also a rocky and muddy path between the meadows and forests,  which can be difficult even for experienced hikers. If you’re ready to go up that high, you have to be ready.
