About Tour Package

The Pawali Kantha Trek is a hidden gem in the Garhwal Himalayas of Uttarakhand, offering an unforgettable journey through dense oak and rhododendron forests, peaceful alpine meadows, and panoramic mountain ridges. Located at an altitude of approximately 3,950 meters (12,960 ft), Pawali Kantha is known for its breathtaking 360-degree views of some of the most iconic Himalayan peaks, including Swargarohini, Bandarpoonch, Black Peak (Kalanag), Kedarnath, and Gangotri ranges.

Unlike many crowded trekking destinations, Pawali Kantha remains relatively unexplored, making it an ideal choice for trekkers seeking solitude and pristine natural beauty. The trail passes through charming Himalayan villages, lush forests, and expansive bugyals that bloom with colorful wildflowers during summer and transform into snow-covered landscapes in winter.
