From Kargil to Panikharu

The journey from Kargil is going smoothly, because there is still something to see. Especially in places where the valley widens. The first higher massif rises on the horizon, but it is still not the famous Nun and Kun

Halfway to Panikharu lies the town of Sanko, which serves as a refreshment / toilet break for bus lines. As everywhere in the valley of the river Suru, there are beautiful views from here. It is also the starting point for a lesser-known trek across the Wakha saddle to Rangdum

Finally, the most famous view of the pair of mountain giants Nun and Kun also opens up

Just in front of Panikchar you can see the ridge with the famous Parkachik la lookout saddle, from where the really best view is. Although even from here it is quite worth it :-)

Panikhar, a picturesque oasis in the Suru valley and a good starting point for short hikes or long treks, our destination. It is possible to stay here in several places

As everywhere in the mountains, it is best to go hiking in the dark or at dawn for better weather. The panorama of the mountains around Panikharu is breathtaking

In Panikchar, seven thousand Nun and Kun, the highest mountains far and wide, will constantly pull your eyes
