The Story Behind the Mountains

The mountains you see on the Pangarchulla Peak Trek are not just geological formations – they are deeply rooted in mythology, especially around the sacred peak of Dunagiri (Dronagiri), which dominates the skyline throughout the trek.

According to ancient Indian epic Ramayana, this region is believed to be the very place where one of the most powerful stories of devotion unfolded.

When Lakshmana was severely wounded in battle, the only cure was a rare herb called Sanjeevani Booti, found somewhere in the Himalayas. Lord Hanuman was sent to retrieve it. But upon reaching the mountain, believed to be Dunagiri, he couldn’t identify the exact herb.

So instead of risking delay, Hanuman did something extraordinary.

He lifted the entire mountain.

Carrying it across the skies, he brought it to the battlefield to save Lakshmana’s life.
