Day 2

On day 2 we booked a 2 taxies from joshimath to auli which cost us 1500(for 1 taxi) for round trip from joshimath to auli and vice-versa.
When we reached auli our tents were already prepared(we already booked last day).
It took almost 30 mins. from joshimath to auli.
Now we had more than half of the day so now we had decided to go for skiing.
Skiing per person was rs 500.
We enjoyed a lot in skiing. Then we came back to our tents and arranged bonfire for the night.
We had our dinner then.

Day 3

Today we started our trek we have to take cable car upto tower no. 8 and first we have to trek from tower 8 to tower 10 which was a bit difficult for beginners but for professionals it was not so difficult.
Cable car cost was 500 per person.
When we reached tower no. 10 we take rest for 10 min then we continue our trek to upward.
The mountain was covered with snow upto waist level.
It was very difficult for us to move.
Then we reached to a level which was full of snow.
The best thing which happend there was snowfall.
It was risky to move further so we decided to go back.
Then we reached to our camps after some time. We were exhausted. Now we moved back to joshimath in the same hotel in which we had stayed earlier.

Day 4

Today we have to travell from joshimath to haridwar because from there we have to board the train to delhi. We took a bus from joshimath to haridwar which was our biggest mistake. Travelling from bus was horrible as it took around 13 hrs to reach haridwar. Instead we could take taxi from joshimath to haridwar. But we reached to haridwar at 9 in the night and we all were very exhausted. We board our train and travelled back to delhi again.

Day 5

We reached delhi this morning. This was the end of a mesmerizing trip. ......😢😢😢😢😢
