Swargarohini Parikrama Expedition

On 24th June 2024, GoClimbUp made history by becoming the first team to successfully complete the Swargarohini Parikrama Expedition via the Jaundhar & Dhumdharkandi Glaciers. This newly opened alpine route is one of the most technically challenging and spiritually significant traverses in the Indian Himalayas.

This high-altitude expedition takes you through sacred and uncharted terrain, retracing the mythological path of the Pandavas as described in the Mahabharata. The journey crosses some of the most remote glacial valleys, steep ice fields, and high-altitude passes, culminating in the crossing of the Dhumdharkandi Glacier—a rarely attempted and demanding passage.

With a blend of spirituality, extreme adventure, and Himalayan grandeur, this route is for experienced climbers seeking to be part of a pioneering Himalayan expedition.
