ranasherdil yes there is a jeep trek that is still being moved up by dozers further up the valley. I think in a year or so they'll move quite close to the plateau beneath the lake. As far as the question of any edgy points in the trek, well that depends on which path one takes, either the right side of the rattigali nala or the left side when descending from the lake to dowarian. According to my analysis after doing the trek i guess the better option is to stay on the left side, the reason is that if you stick to the left side you'll find the under construction jeep trek quite soon. which apparently seeing from the other side was wider & gradually descending. The one on the right side of the nala which we opted is challenging at a few spots specially during or after rain, its gets quite narrow & muddy at some places

Please tell.

Uptill which point, the jeep road exists from Dowarian to Ratti Gali .... How much trekking from that point to lake.?

Any edgy point in Dowarian Ratti Gali section you found?

Yes Rana Sahib... Jeep Road exists from Dowarian and ends just 1 hour trekking before jhuggian Village.. and the distance from Jhugian to Lake is about 4 hours Trekking...

there is no edgy point in whole trek.. the real beauty of trek starts from Jhuggian...

Rana Sahib ziada mat soochain.. bus chall niklain..

[emmaar]

So, lets go towards completion of the trek. Our guide was the first person who have put his feet on the glacier and after a COMPLETE SURVEY of the place he asked us to come on

[emmaar]

Carefully watched the crevasse

[emmaar]

It was first one and second one almost crossing this one at the far end

[emmaar]

Team was descending down too. Rather sliding from this place were to be appropriate wording

[emmaar]

After crossing and watching the team in same activity

[emmaar]

This was the second one

[emmaar]

A hike ahead after the glacier

[emmaar]

As mentioned earlier , there were several small settlements from lake to Dowarian can be seen in the way

More green part of the trek
