Panwali Kantha trek is one of the greatest Hikes in Tehri Garhwal. Garhwal Himalayan high-altitude meadows can be found there. In addition to the thrilling bugs, it has fascinating species of flowers and herbs. The area is covered in Red and Pink Rhododendrons throughout April and May. (a shrub or small tree of the heather family, with large clusters of bell-shaped flowers and typically with large evergreen leaves, widely grown as an ornamental).
Trekkers do, however, benefit from the most breathtaking views of the Himalayan ranges. A stunning view of the entire range of the Himalayan peaks at Yumnotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath brightens your day. Trekkers can see the snow-covered summits of Thalaysagar, Meru, Kirti Stambh, Kedar Dome, Kedarnath, Chaukhambha, Nilkanth, and other mountains during snowfall. The Sunset view from Panwali Kantha makes this area so remarkable for trekkers.
You might want to reserve a day at Panwali Kantha to explore the natural splendor of the Bugyals and take in the sunrise and sunset views. From Ghuttu, you can continue your trek all the way to Lata, which is close to Uttarkashi. It is a pleasant journey because of the beautiful scenery and relatively lower altitudes.
The Panwali meadows, in the northern Garhwal Himalayas, are home to several wild animals. Thus, if you’re lucky, you might see high-altitude creatures like the uncommon musk deer, weasels, and Bharal (blue sheep) Ghoral.
