A steady ascent leads us to the forest border and on to rocky terrain to the famous Lahesh cave in which we will spend the night today.

Today we have a long and challenging day of trekking ahead of us: we will cross the 4300m high Inderhara Pass and even trek over snowfields. For this, we will start in the early morning hours. A steep ascent leads us up to the pass. After enjoying the view at sunrise, we go down on the other side. It is a long but exciting descent over snow bridges, green meadows and along clear streams. Here we meet no human soul and set up our camp in Chata, a green meadow.

It goes downhill steadily: We cross a river and later hike through deep forest to the remote tribal village of Kwarsi near which we set up our tents. We enjoy the hospitality of the villagers and get a little insight into their mountain life.

Before we leave the village of Kwarsi, we visit the Shiva Temple. Then we set off for the last stage of the day: Lamu. From here a taxi picks us up and takes us to Mcleod Ganj.
