<br />
The '''Panchachuli''' (पंचाचुली) peaks are a group of five snow-capped [[Himalaya]]n peaks lying at the end of the eastern [[Kumaon Division|Kumaon]] region, near Dugtu Village Darma valley. The peaks have altitudes ranging from {{Convert|6334|m|ft|0}} to {{Convert|6904|m|ft|0}}. They form the [[water divide|watershed]] between the Gori and the Darmaganga valleys. Panchchuli is also located on the Gori Ganga-Lassar Yankti divide. The group lies {{Convert|138|km|mi|0|abbr=on}} from Pithoragarh. The first ascent of this range (Panchchuli 1) was done by Indo-Tibet Border Police (ITBP) team in 1972, via Uttari Balati glacier, led by [[Hukam Singh (mountaineer)|Hukam Singh]]. <br />
<br />
The five peaks on the Panchchuli [[massif]] are numbered from northwest to southeast. The highest peak is Panchchuli II, which was first scaled by an [[ Indo-Tibetan Border Police]] expedition, led by Mahendra Singh, on 26 May 1973. One theory of the group's name is derived from the legendary [[Pandavas]]'s "Five Chulis" (cooking hearths).<br />

Theophilus (1996)</ref> The second attempt was in 1998, by a large Army expedition, lead by Colonel Bhatt of the [[Indian Army Corps of Engineers|Engineer Corps of the Indian Army]], via the Duktu Glacier on the Dhauli Ganga river side, this too was not successful as the team summiting had an accident on the final approach ridge.<ref>Personal Communication from an Expedition Member - Ms Malika Virdi (May–June 1998)</ref><br />
