Thank you so much for the love and support ❤️

This was around end-may

Thanks for pointing out! Although its always better to aclamatize naturally, its safer to administer diamox when signs of mountain sickness begin to show. Its one of the 3 recommended life saving drugs that add to the chance of survival. In this video diamox was administered in consultation with mountain first aid specialists and we dont endorse doing otherwise.

I went around end of may

Police permission should ideally not be required. This is a nuanced question though, best check with the proper authorities. I can confirm that if you’re carrying photography equipment such as drones and all, those should not require any additional permissions.

March to September the best time to visit

I went in end may. However, one should note here that the climate is not expected to be like this in may. It should ideally have been peak summer with greenery on the lower campsites and snow in the upper camps. The climate trend was rather unusual though. Came across a lot of snow in the lower waterfall campsite itself.

The trek climbs close to 15k feet. It also has quite a few tricky sections which can get especially difficult to navigate if there is snow. I will not recommend it to an absolute beginner.

Thank you ☺️❤️

I went around end-May. However, a major callout here would be that this is NOT how the trek usually looks during peak summer. In May, there is usually much less snow except maybe upper-waterfall campsite onwards. What I experienced was a rather unusual climatic condition. Considering normal weather conditions, i do recommend going in May. You can expect snow-bridges. However, I would say the best time would be around the beginning of June. Some of the snow will have melted by then, making way for lush greenery. Hope this helps! If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out to me directly at hikophilic.com Thanks! ☺️

Thank you so much! Your support means a lot. This was shot around last week of May 2023. Supposedly summer months but, due to erratic weather patterns, the whole place was buried deep in snow. If you’re planning this trek and want to know more about the trail - feel free to reach out to me @hikophilic.com ☺️☺️

Thank you so much Niket! Your support means a lot ❤️. The gear i use for trekking are pretty basic. I have a pair of trekking shoes from timberland. A 60L bagback from forclaz. A pair of insulated gloves, also from forclaz. Quickdry tshirts and pants which i purchased locally. A fleece jacket and a padded jacket, both forclaz. And basic woolen caps and socks. If you want to know more about my hiking gear, or videography equipment, you can reach out to me personally via my website hikophilic.com

Thank you so much ☺️☺️☺️

Thats a tough one 😂, but can be solved with some prior planning. I actually carried 2 power backups for the smaller hand held devices - managed to charge my insta360, phone and lens warmer with the help of those. Additionally, I carried 2 fully charged batteries for my dslr which, thankfully, lasted the for the entire duration. Sub zero temperatures tend to drain batteries faster than in the city so its important that you keep all the batteries with you inside your sleeping bag at night. That way your body heat keeps them warm. Small tip - it helps if you put your phone on airplane mode + power saving mode.

@@hikophilicThanks for response. Do you think the AA battery to USB chargers can be helpful for power backup? If used with AA Alkaline batteries? As those use-throw batteries hopefully won't drain with temparature. But I don't know, how efficient those chargers are in terms of charging the insta360 batteries. Also, what is your opinion on portable flexible solar chargers?

Im not sure about AA batteries. Never used them myself on a trek before. Not sure how they might respond to low temperatures. Although I'd suggest not carrying use & throw items on a trek as they might lead to some non-biodegradable waste generation. What I usually use are 5000-10000 mAH power backups that people normally use for their mobile phones. To answer your second question - the insta360 devices can be easily charged using any power backup that supports a USB-C As for portable solar chargers - I've seen a lot of people use smaller versions of these on trails but only to charge a limited number of devices. If you're planning to charge a single mobile phone - it might work. But for multiple, highly demanding, devices - I probably will not recommend them as im not sure about the power output. However I have also seen larger solar powered chargers that can be hung on the side of the bagpack - they might deliver more power. Problem with those is that they may be difficult to carry and manage. The key will always be to keep the bulk (and the weight) to a minimum. Overall I'd recommend cellphone power backups. Multiple ones if you have a good number of devices. Hope this was helpful! Happy to chat more - feel free to reach out to me at rahulchaksphs@gmail.com

@@hikophilic Really helpful.. Thanks a lot..

Thank you so much ☺️☺️☺️

Thank you so much ☺️

Thank you so much ☺️. We did it around the 3rd week of may. Normally one would expect lush greenery around this time. But due to fast changing weather patterns in the mountains, we found it covered in snow.

Little support goes a long way! Thank you so much ☺️☺️☺️.

We went in the month of May, around last week. We were expecting peak summer - but instead we faced extreme snow due to change in himalayan weather patterns.

We were able to go till the lower waterfall campsite - around 15kms from Jiskun, which was our basecamp. This distance was spread out over 3 days. The full trek is double that distance - we were unable to complete due to heavy off-seasonal snow.

@@hikophilic - Which dates did you go. If you can confirm ?

Hey @@NishantYadav-v2e , we went on the 19th of May. Trek was of 7 days in total.
