Package Highlights

Pankhu Top Trek Package 4 Nights 5 Days is a beautiful offbeat Himalayan trek in the Kumaon region of Uttarakhand. Also known as Pakhwa Bugyal, Pankhu Top is located on the ridge above Jhuni and Khati villages in Bageshwar district. The trek offers a raw and peaceful trail experience with remote Himalayan villages, dense forests, open alpine meadows and scenic mountain landscapes.

The summit of Pankhu Top stands at around 3400 meters and offers clear views of the Sunderdhunga Valley range along with major Himalayan peaks such as Nanda Kot, Maiktoli and Nanda Devi East. The trek route also includes Sarmool, the origin of the Saryu River, and Sahastradhara, a peaceful natural site known for its sacred and refreshing surroundings.

This trek is suitable for trekkers with basic fitness who are comfortable walking in the mountains. It offers a balanced experience of moderate adventure, village culture, forest trails, meadow walks, camping at Bajlingdhar and homestay stays in Jhuni and Khati villages. Pankhu Top can be planned in different seasons, with rhododendron blooms in spring, pleasant weather in summer, lush green views in monsoon and snow-covered bugyal landscapes in winter.
