It was about 2 hours trek from Kalam Banda to Izmis Lake. We started our trek at about 15:30. Not too much altitude hike on the way. The land scape from Kalam BAnda to Izmis in this season was a quite diversified. Start of the trek from Lush Green Meadow. Then we entered in a land slide area (a tricky one) of stones and slippery boulders at an inclination. After about 45 minutes of walk we took a left turn and while passing through Rocks/Boulders, the snow area started then. Just after the Twin Water Falls which took about one hour to reach there. Last one hour was a complete snow trek. After noon trek always present some slippery portion of snow areas, so a careful walk is required at certain places. Finally we reached at the lake at 17:45. Spent about 15/20 minutes there and then returned to our camp site. we reached at about 19:45 to cam site and today it took almost 11 complete hours while trekking from Lado to Kalam Banda. Finally every body was as exhausted as the earth then<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/83515974@N07/14586192752" title="DSC_6841 by hmrashid, on Flickr"><img src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3838/14586192752_cc9758085f_o.jpg" width="800" height="530" alt="DSC_6841"></a>
The singing streams which were many a number in the area <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/83515974@N07/14583588861" title="DSC_6842 by hmrashid, on Flickr"><img src="https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2901/14583588861_d734157d92_o.jpg" width="800" height="530" alt="DSC_6842"></a>
Such streams just like at the trek of Dhudipatsar but this area haven't any Marshy Patches<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/83515974@N07/14586191432" title="DSC_6843 by hmrashid, on Flickr"><img src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3915/14586191432_7661ab1738_o.jpg" width="800" height="530" alt="DSC_6843"></a>

The best thing about the destination was that it remains in our view at the trek<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/83515974@N07/14626949165" title="DSC_6854 by hmrashid, on Flickr"><img src="https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2940/14626949165_e6687024c8_o.jpg" width="800" height="530" alt="DSC_6854"></a>
As obvious,This stream crossing was also a tricky one. We have to select/de select several options before the final one place to cross it<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/83515974@N07/14626948415" title="DSC_6855 by hmrashid, on Flickr"><img src="https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2925/14626948415_84523cf962_o.jpg" width="800" height="530" alt="DSC_6855"></a>
And obviously we crossed the stream <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/83515974@N07/14440300250" title="DSC_6858 by hmrashid, on Flickr"><img src="https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5585/14440300250_cef7238d42_o.jpg" width="800" height="530" alt="DSC_6858"></a>
Another one was ahead too <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/83515974@N07/14646872263" title="DSC_6864 by hmrashid, on Flickr"><img src="https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2936/14646872263_0abc2a7d5b_o.jpg" width="800" height="530" alt="DSC_6864"></a>
Note that the Land scape about to change with the boundary of that stream<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/83515974@N07/14626472872" title="DSC_6865 by hmrashid, on Flickr"><img src="https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2896/14626472872_6b238f936f_o.jpg" width="800" height="530" alt="DSC_6865"></a>
