After this we again packed our camera and then we never take it out for the time for the exisiting day. We gradually, slowly, forcefully reached our camp site at about 19:45 and fell down to our camps. Thanks to our planning that we have already pitched our tents before going to Izmis. Night dinner, tea and a sound sleep. We have achieved our mile stones here. The next whole day was ahead to us but we have a plenty of time in our feelings. We have to descend about 4 hours. Beautiful leisure in the morning and the most beautiful patch of Kalam Banda in excellent weather...So, stay tuned for the last session of the trek with some beautiful scenes around:)

Day 03; The Last day
We have done a hell of long day trek of about 11 hours in our previous day. As per plan we have to camp at Izmis lake but on the trek we changed our plan and camped at Kalam Banda. It took two extra hours trekking on previous day and consequently our last day descend was visualized much easy and relaxed one. So, we have a plan to left our camp site before eight. Wake up call was at 07:00. Members were getting up early even. Morning shots, freshening up, to take our break fast was some of the activities of the morning. After some of the group shots we left the camp site at 07:45. On every trek, we always come to know on descending that how up we have gone on previous days. A continuous downhill and never ending walk always remain with us. After about 10/15 minutes we were in the real beauty of Kalam Banda meadow. The weather and light were awesome and we never thought it was the same place which we have passed on previous day. In fact beauty seems much more than the previous days ascending turn. We spent some quality minutes there. We went through a couple of already tried tricky areas and crossings. We reached at 11:00 to Gatal Village. We never feel ourselves so lucky to find a ride just after our trek. We were even on our trek when we say one of the members was putting his luggage to the vehicle and we were confirmed that VEHILE IS FOR US J. After an hour we were at Dahmaka lake. Dip our feet into the cool water of the lake, took a tasty cup of tea and reached through kalam to our destinations. The short pictorial session of the last day?.
