1) Brother there is no way that the jeep track opens in such short time as there were many landslides and glaciers on the way to Lake. if you cant do tracking then i would say to delay the trip few days / 1-2 weeks may be and then you might get a chance to visit the lake without tracking. only 2-3 kms are of jeep track which is on the start other than that all is tracking and at some places quite dangerous.
2) we stayed in demanchi room rent for deluxe was 5500 and normal rooms of 4500. comfort wise its great. cable does not work other than 2-3 channels. hot water only between 7-11 am. otherwise damn Glacier water straight into tap
3) no issue at all brother, only unload passengers to be on safe side if they had not repaired the patch at that time. do unload as i saw almost every car floor hitting the dirt and rocks. some damaged there radiators as well.
if you are with family, then i would say to leave for naran in few weeks coz roads are completely blocked from lalazar. you cant go any further than that. plus lake tracking is quite difficult as well. if friends, then its complete pack of adventure.
1 more thing, do take a guide so that he can show you the path. at 3-4 spots landsliding is happening in the tracking path. if we did not have guide, there was no way we could go to lake. so be careful at this point. take wise decision. we gave guide 1500 + tip as he was kinda porter as well.
i never drank lake water before but this time, we drank right from lake. tooo cold but maza aya, so take water with you in case you dont want to drink water there.
any help give me a shout!
