A winter welcome trek plan was made and executed by us on 6th December 2014..This time the target was Shingri Top ( 3890 Meters) which is above kaghan town..Initial plan was to go till Khali gatti from Kaghan town via Makhliyan village on jeep and camp there for the night..Then attempt the Shingri top next morning....But unfortunately our jeep was unable to go ahead of Makhliyan village due to icy jeep trek... Since we didn't take any porters with us and It wasn't easy to carry all our luggage till Khali Gatti by ourselves so the team decided to attempt the Shingri top the same day with only 5 hours of daylight left..It became a tough challenge since we had to cover 5 kilometers and 1000 vertical meters only in 5 hours without any acclimatization....
