Today we start early After a steady ascent of about 2 Kms, we will reach the campsite of Lower Khullara. The campsite of Lower Khullara is surrounded by dense forest with stunning mountain views and is any trekker’s delight. Due to snow on the trail, it will take at least 3-4 hours to cover the distance. During winters, most of the campsite is covered in snow and one might have to camp on snow as well. We can see the Pangarchulla peak on our left throughout the day. Beware of ice formations on the trail during winter. Some of the prominent peaks which are visible today are Chaukhamba, Mt. Kamet, Neelkantha and Bhagirathi 1,2,3. Keep yourself hydrated which will help you in acclimatizing and retire early at night. Rest is needed for the next day as we start very early by 0100 – 0200 hours for the summit push.
