Parachik Glacier is a mountain glacier in Kargil,Ladakh,India.
Parkachik Glacier, located at Parkachik, is a mass of ice moving slowly down theNun-Kun slopes. This ice mass falls finally into theSuru River, providing views of the huge ice-fall.[citation needed]
Great slabs of ice periodically peel off the glacier's 300-foot high front wall. A suspension footbridge over the Suru River is there for the visitors to walk up to the glacier. Some mountaineers use this glacier to approach the difficult north face route to scale Mt Nun.
Camping areas are offered in the upperSuru Valley.Panikhar is a nearby place of attraction.
Parkachik can be approached fromKargil, which is 90 km north.
