Pangarchulla Peak Trek in June

Weather, temperatures, packing and honest advice — from the team that runs this trail.

The quick answer

Yes — June is one of the best months for the Pangarchulla Peak trek. It falls squarely in the trail's prime season (Mar, Apr, May, Jun). The trek runs 6 days from Joshimath, Chamoli, reaching 15,069 ft at its highest point, and is graded Moderate-Difficult (4/5). The fee is ₹9,500 + 5% GST with permits, meals, camping and certified trek leaders included.

Why this window works: March to June (peaking April–May) is summit season — consolidated spring snow makes the long boulder fields safely climbable and the Nanda Devi wall views are at their best.

Weather & trail conditions in June

Long, warm days with clear mornings; afternoon clouds are common at altitude. Snow bridges melt out, streams run high with meltwater, and the high passes open for the season. On Pangarchulla Peak, expect daytime temperatures around 17°C on the trail and roughly 1°C at the highest camps after dark in June.
