One should walk slow and steady while climbing upwards. Though walking on the snow is easier. As approaching to the top the gradient becomes steeper just few meters below the pass. That’s the only steep part needed to be crossed for the day. Reaching at the top of the pass gives a feeling of satisfaction by looking at the mighty Himalayan snow capped peaks green meadows and the trail below.
