Kara to Pushtirang
Twin-sharing tent at PushtirangAscend approximately 5 km over 4-5 hours. The source describes multiple cold stream crossings followed by steeper climbing towards high camp. Cross only under the field team's direction; river conditions can alter the plan.
Rest and Acclimatization at Pushtirang
Twin-sharing tent at PushtirangRemain at Pushtirang for rest and local acclimatization activity, according to the detailed itinerary.
