Sultan mehdi Spring and pond was about a 30 minutes trek. So, we decided that Me and Nihal will trek down for the Spring and rest of the party will stayed up

It is a rocky stone trek. At first we have to ascend and then we have to descend all the way down till spring(with some small exceptions;))

Nihal aged 8years did a marvelous trekking job in the whole tour. He did almost all the trek of the tour with me like Sodhi Spring, Sultan Mehdi spring, Kenhatti Spring, Dep Sharif, Kufri pond. Only in Narsing phowar I requested him to stay up due to intensive sunlight that time. I think he will be a regular companion within a couple of year;)

No shelter after the start of trek but we can see a small jungle of trees ahead

While taking a short rest under the shelter tree

Greener part about to start now

emmaar (emmaar) 2013-04-09 11:55:27 +0500 #511

A small but a dense jungle ahead of us

A lush Green small portion of the trek. Beautiful green trees on both side of the narrow trek

emmaar (emmaar) 2013-04-09 11:59:30 +0500 #513

One way is going up and one is going down...We have to follow the left downward trek

Kanton se thora bach kay:(

The trek was merged with a dried Stream way....No one was there to direct us on the right way. We were stood up at the end of the coming trek:(

emmaar (emmaar) 2013-04-09 12:09:39 +0500 #516

Some rock climbing was waiting for us and note it is compulsory to descend into the dried stream and then again to ascend to some extent

emmaar (emmaar) 2013-04-09 12:11:07 +0500 #517

I descend down first and then helped Nihal to jump from this rock:)

emmaar (emmaar) 2013-04-09 12:14:45 +0500 #518

After descending we got some intuitional ideas about the right way towards spring...beside some of the rocks

emmaar (emmaar) 2013-04-09 12:16:38 +0500 #519

Posing with the rocks

emmaar (emmaar) 2013-04-09 12:21:21 +0500 #520

Now this is the way which we have to adopted further
