About Panpatia Glacier Trek
Between two of the most haloed pilgrimage sites in the Himalayas lies a land that nurtures a legend worthy of difficult discovery and extreme exploration. A tale that has drawn feted explorers of the like of Meade, Shipton, Tilman, Martin Moran, Harish Kaparia, and countless other intrepid souls. They were all drawn by the lore that a priest from Badrinath would trek to Kedarnath in a day. The explorations, which began as early 1934, have mostly come a cropper, with weather, terrain, and nerves beating each party back. The prize of the exploration is the crossing of Panpatia col, the pass that hides its approach within drifts of moraines, crevasses and massive ice falls but a route across does exist and we know that from the many reports submitted by the mountaineers, and the final successful crossing by a team from West Bengal.
