We reached this place after about two hours trek. It was a recommended and established camp site for those who wish to cross Bashkaro An from either side

It is a semi Hut and used to be a bakarwals place. Before our reaching the porters team get ready for a cup of tea there....

Due to internal "AWA ZARI", I told the team that I will continue with slow speed and will have a rest beside the lake view...so continue the pace. At a far end however I stayed there and spotted many a interesting things from the wilderness around us.

In 10/15 minutes, there came the first porter and invited me to follow him on. After another 10/15 minutes of walk the most requested view of kukush(last) lake was there:)

Then the team reached there. They asked us to come above the rocks which is the trek route....

So, we took an ascend to follow them. IN most of the way we continue go up and up on rocks so, we were in a confusion to call it an ascend or descend

The rock climbing wasn't much tough at the start but might the Suhail have an eye to next steps

then the most difficult trek was started on steep slopes of rocks, gravels, stones and above from all this was a severe rain fall. All these things made this trek patch "THE BOULDERSTAN"

It took us almost three hours to walk above the boulders of kukush lake 4. At the last end of this trek we have to took a long gravel slide to reach down, as there was no other way to reach down. Then a semi circle ascend and we are at the end of kukush lake 4.
