This is the shortest day of the trek but the incline is much steeper compared to the day before. It is like a bonus day with a change in terrain and scenery. Today, we will also have multiple river crossings. Begin with the Bhabha river crossing followed by a steep ascent. Roll your pants up and step into the river, you will need to work as a team to get to the other side of the river. You will cross a collection of six streams to get to the other side. Fill the river with your eyes, as henceforth the river disappears flawlessly.
The Phutsirang Nala will be on the right as you walk on its left bank. The trail is a mix of boulders and stream crossing. Make sure you use your trekking poles efficiently and watch your step. You will require much more caution and balance on today’s trek. There are some sections, where the rocks are prone to slipping so you need to move continuously on these sections. For 4.5 km, there will be a steep ascent followed by a gradual path leading to open land.
There are two campsites, the lower and upper ones. But we climbed a little up for 200 meters towards the upper Phutsirang campsite. If there is too much snow, we will camp at the lower Pushtirang campsite, otherwise, we will climb up to the upper Phutsirang campsite. You will be delighted to take those last few steps up. The views from here are stupendous, more than you expected. You can see Hansbeshan Peak, Nimish Khango, Tari Khango, and Pin Bhaba Pass. Tuck in soon into your tents to get an adequate amount of rest and help your body recuperate after all the climbs.
