Mount Papsura, known as the "Peak of Evil," presents a significant challenge for climbers in search of a thrilling and fulfilling expedition. Located in the Parvati Valley of Himachal Pradesh, India, Mount Papsura rises to an impressive height of 6,451 meters (21,162 feet), making it one of the most challenging peaks in the Indian Himalayas. 

For those who crave adventure and are determined to push their limits, the Mount Papsura Expedition offers an unparalleled experience filled with breathtaking landscapes, technical climbing, and the thrill of conquering a peak that few have dared to scale.

The Majestic Mount Papsura

Nestled in the eastern part of the Great Himalayan Range, Mount Papsura is part of the twin peaks of Papsura and Dharamsura, also known as the “Peaks of Good and Evil.” While Dharamsura, the “Peak of Good,” is a popular climb, it is Mount Papsura Peak that truly tests the mettle of seasoned climbers. The mountain’s rugged terrain, steep ice walls, and unpredictable weather conditions make it a coveted but challenging destination for mountaineers around the globe.

The allure of Mount Papsura lies not only in its technical difficulty but also in the stunning beauty that surrounds it. The journey to the base of the peak takes you through lush green valleys, pristine rivers, and serene alpine meadows, providing a stark contrast to the harsh, icy conditions you’ll encounter as you ascend the mountain. The views from Mount Papsura Peak are nothing short of spectacular, offering panoramic vistas of the surrounding peaks, including the famous Kullu and Lahaul-Spiti ranges.

The Mount Papsura Expedition

The Mount Papsura Expedition is designed for experienced climbers who are well-versed in high-altitude mountaineering and technical climbing. The route to the summit involves negotiating treacherous glaciers, crevasses, and steep ice and rock faces, making it a true test of endurance, skill, and determination. The ascent requires the use of specialized equipment such as ice axes, crampons, and ropes, and climbers must be prepared for long, grueling days on the mountain.

The Mount Papsura Expedition typically spans over three weeks, giving climbers ample time to acclimatize and prepare for the final push to the summit. The journey begins with an approach trek through the picturesque Parvati Valley, leading to the base camp at the foot of Mount Papsura. From there, the climb becomes progressively more challenging as you ascend through a series of high camps, each offering its own unique challenges and rewards. The final summit push is the most demanding part of the expedition, requiring climbers to navigate steep ice slopes and narrow ridges before reaching the summit of Mount Papsura Peak.
