The trail descended till Gaundhar village and then climbed till Ransi, leaving one rather stymied with the profiles and preferences of modern-day pilgrims

Being pre-monsoon, there wasn’t much flowering around. The trail from Kachni Khal to Madmaheshwar was the only patch where we saw some signs

I assumed that pikas might also emerge out of their burrows like us, and to my good luck, a couple of them did come out for a sneak peek

We arrived to a green meadow top, and as if not satiated by the amount of precipitation dealt to us till now, a hailstorm was dished out to us for almost three hours

Snowfall through the night gave us fresh powder to deal with again in the morning, but we were used to the rigmarole by now

Sujal Sarovar was a neat little emerald green lake, with a different face of Chaukhamba gazing over it

uploaded on June 21, 2025

All Rights Reserved
The way down, accompanied by a light snowfall, was quite decent, including a small patch of climbing to get to Sujal Sarovar

View from Panpatia Col (down). There was a small steep rocky section followed by snow which was easy to dig steps into

uploaded on June 21, 2025

All Rights Reserved
There weren’t many tricky sections, though we did hear thudding beneath our feet a few times which made us go faster, most probably the ice shifting inside crevasses

uploaded on June 21, 2025

All Rights Reserved
We walked along the circumference of the glacier to avoid crevasses

uploaded on June 21, 2025

Sunlight washed the whole massif shortly, and finally reached our campsite, nudging us to break camp and hurry now that the bodies finally had some warmth to boot

uploaded on June 21, 2025

All Rights Reserved
We knew the clouds would soon return, but were grateful for a clear morning that allowed us to soak in the grandeur of our surroundings

All Rights Reserved
The rewards were finally unveiled the next morning, as Chaukhamba came to the fore, feeling like ‘twas at touching distance

As had become the norm, it started to snow as soon as we set up camp. The icefield was outright frigid, the windchill making it impossible to stay outside for long

uploaded on June 21, 2025

All Rights Reserved
After a brief photo session at the col, we trudged off to find a camp before the clouds finally decided to dispose of their wares

uploaded on June 21, 2025

Panpatia Col (up), it was here that it became clear how the col was actually a series of two passes, this one took us up into the icefield, the down col would be our exit point

The overcast conditions painted myriad shades on white on the vast canvas

Half an hour of tentative climbing brought us to Parvati Col, from where we’d leave the precincts of Parvati peak and veer off towards Panpatia icefield

uploaded on June 21, 2025

All Rights Reserved
Climbing up Parvati gully was perhaps the trickiest section of the whole trail, a steep rocky climb with melting ice trickling off the rocks, offering little purchase

uploaded on June 21, 2025

‘Twas slow going, trying to gauge which was safer – the ice, boulders or mud

Crossing a patch of ice below the Panpatia icefall, I hurried through the boulders to get a clear glimpse of Parvati peak, its pyramidal massif overlooking the chaos of the glacier below

Moraine camp. An icefall coming off Panpatia was visible from here, hoodwinking one into misgauging the extent of the glacier above it.

I found it surprising that many prominent, and quite aesthetic, peaks in this region were still unnamed.

With overnight rains, the boulders were on the loose side but still quite manageable in dry weather.

This glacial lake, about a kilometre up from the snout of Parvati Glacier, was the largest we saw on the trail (Sujal Sarovar was partly frozen so difficult to gauge)

uploaded on June 21, 2025

All Rights Reserved
A clear morning again but at altitude the clouds had started to roll in much sooner, negotiating the first patch of moraine, we spent a few minutes just gazing at the river gushing out from the glacier

uploaded on June 21, 2025

All Rights Reserved
The camp was located a couple of hundred metres below the snout of Parvati Glacier, on a rather cosy grassy patch

A brilliant white rhododendron shimmered in the late morning, the last tree we’d see for a few days

Campsite at Shepherd/ Nala Camp. A rivulet from here joined the Parvati River below to form the Khiron Ganga. Cloudy evenings followed by clear mornings became the regular fare, we were quite content with this pattern on our part

Shepherds had started to settle in the higher reaches for the next few months

A bright and sunny morning greeted us, we climbed a steep ridge in the middle, and near the end of the treeline, cut to the meadows on our left

Khiron village was a smaller settlement than I’d expected, almost all the houses were locked; people had either moved down to cash in on the Char Dham Yatra or gone up to the meadows with livestock

After sultry weather the previous day, we left the road at Hanuman Chatti to a persistent drizzle
