	Several surveys have mapped the ~~[[Glacial_motion#glacial_retreat\|~~retreat]] of Pindari over the years. The glacier was first surveyed by G.de P.Cotter in 1906. A 1958 survey by Amber P Tiwari and Jangpangi in connection with International Geophysical Year, recorded a retreat of {{convert\|1040\|m\|abbr=on}} in the fifty two years since 1906. A 1966 survey recorded a further retreat of {{convert\|200\|m\|abbr=on}} and discovered that a branch of the glacier, the Chhanguch branch, had separated and formed a separate ice shelf. As a result of the separation, the glacier lost several thousand cubic meters of ice.
