Who don't want to do adventure?
Who don't want to experience new things in life ?Who don't want to get out of his or her daily schedule? Who don't want to enjoy life?
So many questions but with one answer EVERYONE,so did I
The planning of this chilling but thrilled adv begins long ago when I decided to do some unique adv that I haven't done before. One of my fndz knows someone who was in Army and was also planning to do some adv activity. So I decided to join them in that activity which was to summit at peak which was at 6553m(21499ft approx) in largest glacier of Himalayan range i.e Bara Shigri Glacier.
We started our journey from Pooh on 20june19 towards the Batal where it was decided to have a Base camp. We reached Batal after passing through beautiful places like Nako,Kaza,Tabo,Losar,Kumzula pas and we reached Batal on 22june19. Here we stayed for 2 nights and then on 25jun19 we move forward by walking distance of 15km and crossing snow bridges,rivers and walking through difficult adventurous route and established our Adv Base camp at 13200ft height,Here we haulted for 1 day.
Then on 26jun19 we move ahead distance of 14km and established our Camp1 at height to 15000ft and haulted for one day .On 27jun19 in chilling freezing winds we move ahead 13km and established our camp2 at 17000ft and haulted for a day .It was really a new and bone chilling experience for me .It was getting colder and colder and also the wind chill factor adds on to the temp,the bright sunshine,complete white out was adding on factors.It was thrilling exp for me,Walking with snow boots with cramptons , crossing ice walls,was all the wholesome package for me.
On next day 28jun19 we went 10 km ahead and established our camp3 at height of 18000ft.
Imagine how will u feel when u have to pee outside in such a cold and that too in open🤪
But yeah it was really an amazing experience.As I was not qualified mounterr so I was not allowed to go ahead of camp 3 but where ever till I went it was such a real life time experience for me and memories are still fresh in my mind.
The team successfully did summit on 29june19 and then came back to camp3 buy 30jun19. Then we all went down to Camp1 and stayed there on 1july19 and further went back to adv base camp and stayed there on 2june19 and then to base camp at Batal that was road head on 3jun19 and came back from there to Pooh on 5jun19 by evening.
This amazing, magnificent, breathtaking,bone chilling,treacherous ridges,bone jarring water, tremendously difficult snow layers crossing,creavices was seriously spell bound and ......exp for me.
I will just say that one proven way of turning neurotic is to attempt to a mountaineering expedition.
