• Day 5 : Ghoralotani to Bhagwabasa (14120ft)

The place is exposed to icy northern winds that whip around the stone shelter huts. We will finally reach Bhagwabasa campsite in a desolate and barren landscape. Here all around there will be snow and only snow. On a clear day one can view the gieant and awesome snow peaks ie Hathi Parvat, Neelkanth Parvat, Nanda Gunti and Trishul.
