Changuch

Rising to 6,322 meters above sea level, Changuch stands at the border between Pithoragarh and Bageshwar districts in the Uttarakhand region of India.

Multiple expeditions attempted to reach Changuch's summit between 1987 and 2007, but success came only in 2009 when an Indo-British team completed the first ascent.

The mountain connects two significant valleys through Traill's pass, forming a natural pathway between the Pindari and Goriganga regions used by local communities.

Climbers access Changuch through two primary routes: the Lawan Valley approach and the Pindari Glacier path, with Munsiyari serving as the nearest road access point.

The northwest ridge presents technical climbing challenges, requiring advanced mountaineering skills to navigate through steep sections and variable weather conditions.
