Day 1

The three days trek started from Nohradhar. Started in the morning crossing few rural settlement and the long stretch trail passing through densed forest and mountains. This all took us very early to the first camping spot, though we had enough energy to reach to the top but the beauty of Jamnala(Dushri) stop us for a day. Here we got to see a little snow surrounding our camping ground
