Located in the heart of Himachal Pradesh’s Pir Panjal Range, Mount Papsura is a towering peak that challenges even the most seasoned climbers. Rising to an elevation of 6,451 meters (21,164.7 feet), this formidable mountain, often referred to as the “Peak of Evil,” is a test of endurance, skill, and determination. 

The Mount Papsura Expedition is not for the faint of heart, but for those who dare to undertake this journey, the rewards are unparalleled. From breathtaking vistas to the thrill of conquering one of India’s most challenging peaks, the experience is nothing short of extraordinary.

The Allure of Mount Papsura

Mount Papsura is part of the twin peaks of Papsura and Dharamsura, which are steeped in local legend as the “Peaks of Good and Evil.” While Dharamsura, the “Peak of Good,” offers a relatively less demanding climb, it is Mount Papsura that draws the attention of serious mountaineers. The mountain’s rugged terrain, steep inclines, and technical routes make it one of the most challenging climbs in the Indian Himalayas. The ascent is filled with crevasses, icefalls, and sharp ridges, requiring climbers to be highly skilled in technical climbing.

The journey to Mount Papsura is as mesmerizing as the climb itself. The trail winds through lush valleys, dense forests, and alpine meadows, offering glimpses of the region’s rich biodiversity. As you ascend, the landscape transforms into a stark, icy wilderness, with breathtaking views of the surrounding peaks and valleys. The sense of isolation and the sheer scale of the mountain create an atmosphere that is both humbling and awe-inspiring.

The Mount Papsura Expedition is a 26-day adventure designed for experienced climbers who are looking to push their limits. This fully technical expedition demands not only physical strength but also mental resilience.

The climb is physically demanding, with climbers walking 6-7 hours per day, and the altitude adds an extra layer of challenge.
