An Old Pilgrims Trail

Nine day Trek with Ann, Rebecca & Nishant (8-16 June 2004)

Route: Saura Village (near Uttarkashi) - Belak Pass - Budha Kedar - Binak Pass (Binakkhal) - Hatkuni - Ghuttu - Panwali Meadow - Kinkola pass (Kinkola khal) - Triyuginarayan - Gaurikund; Ideally a ten day trek.

(An interesting travelogue of this trek by Rebecca soon)

On the way to Lata beyond Uttarkashi The bridge to Saura village First camp at the foot of Belak pass Camp fire..
The CLIMB to Belak pass Distant views.. How far? A moment of thanksgiving..
Stiff backs! Nishant sketches. Memories to take home.. Washing clothes at river at Jhalla chatti
A Mountain river A quiet morning.. Watch out Sachin! Strangers become friends
 
Agunda village on the way to Budha Kedar A long walk.. Clouds and rain play hide and seek with us on the way to Hatkuni A walk in the rain..
Nishant is mistaken for a pilgrim.. Curious local women.. Time to pack up and leave..(Hatkuni)  
A tree like a character from Emile Zola.. Heavens opened up suddenly.. And there was light.. Outdoor cooking and unbidden guest..
A ride in a truck to Ghuttu We were covered in dust.. A child playing cricket.. A tea shop on the way to Panwali meadow
 
A resolute old pilgrim on his way.. Panwali meadows Changing every second, next morning Himalayas played Peek-a-Boo with us
But patience was rewarded The final ascent..(11890 ft..) Our last camp site Adieus next morning..
