Team : 8-10 person
Day 1
We left for task around 4pm from Chalt centre bazar. Hired a jeep to take us to the ridge which took 1hr. On foot it will take 2hrs.
Plan was to reach the hut above this ridge before night. Spend night at hut and then start next phase tomorrow morning.
Around 5pm we started going upwards along the ridge.
After 30 mins I was like "aor kitni door hey" and other guys like "bass uss teelay k peechay hey".
This scenario went on for 3 hours and I reached at hut 8pm in darkness. Initial calculations was for 2hrs hiking but angle was steep enough and we have to have rest many times.
Had tea and slept in hut in sleeping bags it was very cold up here.
