We will climb the further uphill to the Tenta plateau (4000m), our campsite for the night stay.

Today, we will have a complete day to rest and relax. We will spend the day at the base camp and enjoy eating, drinking and sleeping and adjusting to the altitude. The tasks for the day will include technical gear distribution, crampon fitting and a general meeting on how we’ll proceed over the coming days. Just after lunch, we’ll take the short walk to the Chota Chandratal Lake and later return back to the camp for an overnight stay.
Day 9 Tenta – ABC (4500m)
Today in the morning, we will take our first committed steps up the mountain. From now on, the expedition will be run in a semi-alpine manner. Our cook and helper will remain at the base camp. The rest of the team will proceed up to the mountain and work as one – although we have a sufficient number of high-altitude porters on the team, all expedition members will be required to carry some of the common food, gear, etc. and assist with the camp activities – cooking, tent pitching, etc.

Day 12 Summit Day
We’ll leave camp in the middle of the night in order to take advantage of the hard snow. If all goes well, we’ll arrive at the summit early in the morning. After a good photo session, we’ll head back down to Camp 2. Following a refreshing drink and snack, we’ll break camp and head back to Camp 1 for the night.

Today early in the morning, we’ll break camp, prepare the loads for the porters/mules and make our way back to Manali. It’ll be a long walk back down!
