Our Guide was Mr.Bilal from Utror Village, but we don,t have his cell# as there were no signals in Utror at that time.
There is no short cut in this trek only 2 options, follow the Kandol stream from left or right side.
There is no proper trek on both sides you have to cross glaciers and rock climbing etc, but not very difficult.
As you already visited this thread, I hope you gathered good enough information and I suggest to follow the same rout which we did.
