Tharkot Peak
Sundardunga Valley in Bageshwar
Tharkot Peak is indeed located near the Sundardunga Valley in the Bageshwar District of Uttarakhand. This snow-capped peak stands at an altitude of approximately 6,100 meters, offering breathtaking views of the Sundarganga valley. The best time to trek to Tharkot Peak is generally from the months of May to October when weather conditions are more favorable for climbing.
Tent Peak, also known as Tent Peak or in Kumaon Himalaya (6120 m), is situated southwest of the Maktoli Peak and the Mirgthuni Range. It holds a central position in the area and offers trekkers a chance to explore the diverse flora, fauna, and cultures of the surrounding villages. The ultimate goal of the trek is to summit Tent Peak, which rewards climbers with panoramic views of the Himalayas, including Nanda Kot, Maktoli, and other prominent peaks.
The 18-day trek begins and ends in Bageshwar, but the actual journey starts from Kharkiya, the last road head and a beautiful ‘Lake City’. Reaching the base camp of the Himalayas provides yet another compelling reason to choose the Tent Peak trek, offering adventurers an unforgettable experience amidst the stunning landscapes of the Kumaon Himalayas.
