CHANGUCH PEAK

About Changuch Peak

The first successful ascent of Changuch Peak was made in 1988 by an Indo-Japanese expedition team. Since then, it has gained popularity among climbers for its technical difficulty and remote location. The trek to its base camp passes through pristine alpine meadows, dense forests, and glacial streams, offering a unique blend of natural beauty and adventure.

Changuch Peak is also significant for its ecological importance, as it lies within the Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The region is home to diverse flora and fauna, including rare species like the snow leopard and Himalayan musk deer.

Climbing Changuch requires proper acclimatization, technical skills, and permits from the Indian Mountaineering Foundation. Its remote and untouched environment makes it a rewarding destination for those seeking solitude and a true Himalayan adventure.
