Naran was the base camp.

My bro visited Saif-ul-Muluk during the day while Mussab stayed at Naran.

Instead of going straight in the valley and then directly climbing the big slope, we were gradually climbing on the left side slopes which was slowly gaining altitude and made our life easy

Molvi was the first one to feel the toughness of the trek.

He made a basic mistake by eating too much parathas in the breakfast

An overly heavy meal will always make the digestion big problem during high altitude treks so keep the food intake under control

During the first part of the trek, this area of the valley was most beautiful

I took a series of shots at this location as it was immensely beautiful and breathtaking Though i was already struggling with my breath

This part was beautiful and equally demanding so we were draining lots of energy

Fields opening up now and we were near the end of first part of the trek

Molvi was struggling hard now as breakfast digestion problem was getting over him.

So, now everyone was calling him, bucking him up to make it to the first two lakes atleast.
