Early morning, we start our trek uphill for an hour or more until the trail converts to a soft ascend at the elevation around 4,900m. This is where your primary needs actually come to function.

Hiking uphill for around 4 hours, we will reach to the highest point of the trip, called “Dolma La Pass”, at the elevation of 5,800m. There is a place atop Dolma La pass, known as Shivasthal. Crossing this pass, our descent begins and this descent trail leads us to a beautiful glacial lake called the “Gauri Kunda”. From this elevation, the trail rapidly descends to the base of Gauri Kunda after 1-2 hours passing through the rocky land. With great relief in mind after such a push, our eyes and legs will be happy to see a flat and comfort trail ahead.
