Panwali Dhar

Panwali Dhar is a summit in the Himalayan range reaching approximately 6600 meters above sea level. The peak features steep, snow-covered slopes that create challenging terrain for climbers attempting to reach the top.

The summit was noted during early 1930s expeditions when explorers mapped the high mountain region. These journeys helped establish knowledge of the inner Himalayan geography among climbing communities.

Local communities in the Joshimath Tehsil maintain traditional agricultural practices and mountain customs that have persisted through generations near Panwali Dhar.

Reaching the peak requires time for acclimatization and specialized equipment for high-altitude conditions. Visitors should prepare for extreme weather and technically demanding sections of the climb.

The mountain sits between two glaciers and is connected to neighboring peaks by a mountain pass at roughly 5300 meters elevation. This geographic position places it within a glacier-dominated landscape that few visitors experience.
