Finally after 5 hours of almost continuous trekking we reached the top of Mukshpuri. We decided to erect our camps just a little bit below of the top in a gully where we will be safe from the blowing wind.....Our Camping Site:

Bravo Bravo !!!

Yes the snow level was much much more than what we had anticipated.... On many parts of the trek our whole legs and hiking sticks were going in the snow.

zabardast snow expedition (y)

Bravo Bravo !!!

Yes it was a real snow expedition. We were expecting a 2-2.5 hours gentle hiking but it turned out to be a 5.5 hours tough(But very enjoyable) hike....

After we reached the top everyone was really feeling hungry as we had skipped the lunch and had not expected such a difficult trek. The dinner was the responsibility of Mr. Nadir and he packed a chicken karahi and Naan from Abbotabad. He had a commando stove and he heated the karahi and it was a really delicious one.

After taking dinner we all retired to our sleeping bags but still had some energy left to do some photoshoots (inside the tent)!!!!
Usman, Tauqeer and Me....

During our photoshoot it started to snow outside and it snowed throughout the night. I was a little bit apprehended as I had not tested my tent in snow but it proved to be a very good tent in both snow and rain.

Me and Nadir
