Chandrakani - a milestone in our life

Main Trek Day 4 - Waching to Nagroni

Continuing from last post, Waching was amazing place. For all those who suffer in traffic jams, crowded streets , it calms their nerves. No mobile network, no facebook , only few people who have met in short time and became friends. On top of that ice filled mountains added spice to the journey. .After having breakfast, we moved towards Nagroni.

As we crossed streams, our pet Dog also followed us. It was more enthusiastic than us when comes to trekking. We had Maggi half way and Maggi costed more than 100 bucks. More you go to higher altitude, more you have to pay for Maggi.

As we encountered more ice on the way, it was more satisfying and more challenging.

The Team

With Group leader Parvez Bhai

When we reached Nagroni\, it was bit raining. We danced, and had the feeling of reaching our highest camp. Temperature was bit low also. Inside the tent it was showing 3 degree. Outside it was having around less than 0. We were packed with our thermal and sleeping bag. We also roamed around to get adjusted to climate. I remember Ashesh and Pavan brought soup and juice for us in water bottle. Best part is having Gulab Jamoon in such a high altitude area. We got instruction that we have to wake up 3 in the morning.

Main Trek Day 5 - Nagroni to Chandrakani Peak.

We wokeup 3 in the morning. With our torch we went outside for toilet. Camp leader also told us to be aware of bears while going for toilet. We had breakfast and packed our lunch meal and started our trek towards Chandrakani at 4 in the morning. This was our most beautiful part of our trek.

This was the most difficult part of our trek. We moved slowly. We fell down most frequently while walking in ice. But in some cases situation was like that if we slide we were going directly to deeper part of the mountain. We woud have got hurt but nothing would have happened that was the feeling I had.

When we reached the peak, it was a feeling which can not be expressed. We jumped , we clicked photos, we hugged each other. If heaven is real, I would pick Chandrakani as one such place. We spent some time time in peak and started climbing down.
